About the Book
This volume contains all the
papers presented at the 8th
International Cycling History
Conference, held in Glasgow,
Scotland, 26 to 29 August 1997.
The conference was held in the
historic Charles Rennie
Mackintosh-designed building of the
Glasgow School of Art and was
organized locally by Nicholas Oddy.
Topics ranged from Hans-Erhard
Lessing’s fascinating revelations
about the faking of what had been
widely held for a Leonardo Da Vinci
bicycle to Alastair Dodds’ and Frank
Berto’s contributions about living
history and Ruediger Rabenstein’s
survey of the history of doping use
in bicycle racing
