About

"'Wheel Fever' traces the history of Wisconsin's first "bicycling boom, " from the velocipede craze of 1869 through the "wheel fever" of the 1890s. From the start it has been defined by a rich and often impassioned debate over who should be allowed to ride, where they could ride, and even what they could wear."--From publisher description.
