Wheel Fever tells the early history of cycling in Wisconsin, from the velocipedes of the 1870s to the high-wheels of the 1880s and standard and racing models of the 1980s.

From "boneshakers" to high wheels, tandems to tricycles, and everything in between, this book is lushly illustrated with never-before-seen images of early cycles, and the people who rode them: bloomer girls, racers, young urbanites, and union workers.
