Excerpt from Cycle Rides Round London

When that sturdy pioneer John Mayall junior, first rode his velocipede from London to Brighton in 1869, in much physical discomfort, and left his two would-be companions behind him in a crippled condition, no one could have foreseen the days when many thousands of Londoners would with little effort explore the Home Counties on Saturdays or week-ends, and ride sixty or seventy miles a day for the mere pleasure of seeking country lanes and historic spots.

There are, indeed, no more ardent lovers of the country, of scenery, of ancient halls and churches, of quiet hamlets and historic castles than London cyclists, who are often, in fact, recruited from the ranks of those pedestrians who, finding they could by means of the cycle extend their expeditions in search of the venerable and the beautiful, have cast away staff and stout walking-boots, and have learnt the nice art of balancing astride two wheels.

So much accomplished, the ex-pedestrian has at once widened his radius to at least thrice its former extent, and places that to him were little known, or merely unmeaning names, have become suddenly familiar. Even the sea - that far cry to the Londoner - is within reach of an easy summer day's ride.

Paperback. Condici�n: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a delightful journey through the picturesque countryside surrounding London, as seen through the eyes of a cycling enthusiast. The author invites us to explore the charming villages, historical landmarks, and hidden gems of this often overlooked region. The book delves into the captivating history of the area, weaving together tales of famous individuals like John Russell and William Penn, as well as lesser-known figures like Elynor Rummyng, the infamous alewife of Leatherhead. The narrative explores themes of rural life, historical preservation, and the changing face of the English landscape in a bygone era. Through detailed descriptions of quaint villages, bustling inns, and grand manor houses, the author paints a vivid picture of a world where the pace of life was slower and the connection to the land was profound. The author's keen observation of the historical significance of these places and their connection to the broader narrative of English history offers a unique perspective on the often overlooked stories of the English countryside. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de ref. del art�culo: 9781332118045_0
