“What art does — maybe what it does most completely — is tell us, make us feel that what we think we know, we don’t. There are whole worlds around us that we’ve never glimpsed.” Greil Marcus — Tuesday January 3rd — —

Cyclepedia for the iPad

The book was already amazing, but with the iPad app they’ve gone next level. Cyclepedia, Michael Embacher’s book on the most extraordinary and rare bicycles is now interactive. With 360º spins of every bike, video features, original brochures, contemporary advertising, engineering drawings, rare illustrations and the ability to zoom into details up to 20x magnification to appreciate every component in this rich celebration of cycling culture and design it’s a must have for every bicycle aficionado.
Above my three favorite bikes: 1979’s Rigi Bici Corta (the ‘Short Bike’), Alex Mouton’s Titanium One Off Special, and the Titanium Brompton S2L-X.
Enjoy this little video, or better, just buy the app to enjoy the iconic bicycles at your fingertips.
