'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
Apple's iPad App of the Week (UK) and featured in iTunes New and Noteworthy Apps.

Each bike is shown with an informative text that recounts its unique and fascinating story and multiple gallery-quality photographs, and in many instances also includes video clips, original brochures, contemporary advertising, engineering drawings, rare illustrations and links to manufactures' sites.
