"As mesmerisingly beautiful an iPad app as you could ever hope to see. Full of innovative but intuitive ways to navigate, this is like the most beautiful, informative and deliciously lovely guide to bicycle design as you can imagine. And if you think that bicycles are a rather humble, banal and uninteresting field of industrial design this will make you think again. Stunning."
Stephen Fry

Very nice app but no recumbents?
My favorite iPad app
Nicely designed, with a lot of supporting pictures, videos and even brochures when available. Beautiful photographs with the ability to rotate each bike on a horizontal axis. If you're into bike designs - or just beautiful industrial design in general - you will love this app.
Good
Great for learning about history. Needs a bit more work.
Developer: please put captions on historical photos. it feels incomplete in places, especially the early timeline -- see Time magazine app for a great execution of photo captions
