This book not only goes over the history of the bicycle but it also includes the different types of bicycles. Not only are bikes for riding outside for fun but also dirt bikes and mountain bikes. The book also includes a guide for taking care of your bicycle.

The story also has components of a survey book because it describes different types of bikes, what bikes are used for, what bikes looked like a long time ago, where people ride bikes, and why biking is fun.
