In November 1873, a small group of local Peterborough businessmen placed an advertisement in a local newspaper, inviting local enthusiasts into a fellowship of bicyclists. By 1874, that invitation had been answered and the Peterborough Bicycle Club was about to commence a long ride into the next century and beyond. The Peterborough Bicycle Club became the Peterborough Cycling Club, which now rides, also, the information highway. It was not uncommon for Victorian and Edwardian cycling clubs to have photography sections, and the Peterborough club was typical in this respect. In The Long Road: 150 years of the Peterborough Cycling Club, author Keith Steiner pays affectionate tribute to those two revolutionary instruments, bicycle, and camera, and, equally, the longevity and heritage of his former club, one of the oldest active cycling clubs in the world. Illustrated with illuminating historic photographs and documents from this long and continuing history, the author also foregrounds the power and beauty of the bicycle as a continuing revolutionary analogue instrument in a present profoundly digital age. The Long Road: 150 years of the Peterborough Cycling Club extends an invitation to cycling enthusiasts to chart the next 150 years of the Peterborough Cycling Club.
