The Bikes We Built : A Journey Through New Zealand Made Bicycles
Paperback Edition: 1
Unearthing secrets from factories, garages, archives and museums, The Bikes We Built brings us the stories of New Zealand made bikes and the people behind them - their designers, builders, collectors and users - in a celebration of Kiwi ingenuity, passion and determination. Jonathan tirelessly travelled across the country throughout 2021 to meet with bike collectors, manufacturers and historians, bringing to light long-lost secrets, rediscovering old favourites and finding untold stories about the unique bike-making history of Aotearoa. When I explained to the collectors that I hoped to find at least fifty fine examples to showcase an industry that once thrived in every New Zealand city, their eyes lit up. We disappeared together into a world that no longer exists, of forges and lugs and pinstriping.
