THE BICYCLE IN WARTIME: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Jim Fitzpatrick | 272 pages | 02 May 2011 | Star Hill Studio | 9780980748017 | English | Kilcoy, Australia Verify your identity During World War II bicycles were introduced to paratroopers as a means to provide them with transportation following the landing. In the late s and early s, there was a resurgence in the testing of all terrain and folding bikes, for use by infantry in battle and patrolling cities. Some innovations introduced in bicycles designed for military use found their way to civilian markets as well, such as coaster brakes and the cyclometer. In modern times bicycles and electric bicycles are still used by many armies around the world but there are no separate bicycle infantry units. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Military bicycle - Wikipedia If you can get a copy of this book through your library, I would recommend having a look. It is an incredible visual record of not only a specific cultural object bicycle , but also how bikes have been used in a highly specific context.. Although this book is very informative, I also found it challenging to read. It stirred up many emotions because of the wartime context. I found myself stopping quite regularly. It was at times a tumultuous undertaking. Overall, the book recognises the role and importance of bicycles in armed conflicts. I have read previously about bicycles being used in wartime, but this book really took that to a new level. Motor Cyclists first invited to enrol. Military Cyclists' Meeting at Crystal Palace.
