Signed first edition. " Learning to ride a bicycle is a rite of passage engrained in the childhood memories of most New Zealanders. The joy and freedom associated with mastering that magic combination of balance, steering and speed is unforgettable.

This book explores them all and in doing so fills a key gap in our history." ( from the Prologue) The cover is in very good condition. There is light surface rubbing and minor bumping of the corners.
