Forget all your books about whippet roadies or bearded MTBers, I've found the best bike book ever; it's Japanese, I'm not sure what the title is, but it's full of brilliant manga and anime pictures of bikes:

Some of the pics are quite NSFW though...
Why does the Peugeot look like a Birdy?
Awesome book
The Birdy is made by Pacific in Taiwan, there are often different licensing arrangements in the Far East. Neobike made a version of the Brompton for example.
That reminds me - forgot to photograph it, but there's a very cool Brompton made out of Lego in the book too, which actually folds!
Can you take a pic of the cover please Ben?
Great info. Tx

Ha ha. Thanks. Do you know where it was bought?
I got it from Amazon Marketplace from Japan. The ISBN is 978-4-86269-098-2 if you want to find it.
Thanks 🙂
Perfect.
Shame their is not an English version.
Mid 90`s book,
The "Mountain Biking Way of Knowledge"
It was basically a complete p**s take of all that we knew back then!! 🙄
