Cycling may seem a strange sport for the masses but in the nineteenth century it was one of the most popular sports in Europe. This book looks at the social history of cycling in nineteenth-century Ireland. Drawing from the numerous Irish and British cycling journals and newspapers from the period, it illustrates the profound impact which the introduction of the bicycle and the tricycle had on on the lives of Irish men, women, and children.
