In pictures: The beauty of the bicycle

Michael Embacher has been collecting bicycles since 2003. Not that long you might think, but this design orientated Austrian has amassed 200 of the world’s most weird, wonderful, fantastic, functional and failing formulations of two wheels. His website is a treasure trove…
Michael’s has also teamed up with Paul Smith to create the beautiful hardback book, Cyclopedia. ’A homage to the beauty of two wheels’. Its just been released so I haven’t had a chance to look at it but as soon as I do I’ll let you know. If it’s anything like the website though its going to be loaded with weighty bicycle porn!
