About the Editors

Prof. Dr. Hans-Erhard Lessing has been Germany’s most influential publicist and historian of cycling since 1978, when his first book, Das Fahrradbuch, appeared with the major paperback house Rohwolth. Lately he has been the one to uncover the fraud of the alleged Leonardo DaVinci bicycle, explaining how the fake was probably inserted at the time of the recent restauration of the Codex Atlanticus. He lives in Mannheim, Germany

Andrew Ritchie is the author of the first historically correct social history of the bicycle in modern times, King of the Road, published in 1975 (this book is currently being revised for publication of an updated edition by Johns Hopkins University Press). He is also the author of Major Taylor, the biography of the first African-American sportsman to reach international fame. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
