This is the story of a journey that was all about creating a dream bike. Robert Penn has travelled almost 40 thousand kilometres around the world and was constantly adding to his collection of bikes for every need - from urban to mountain and road - until he decided to build a bike that was just right for him. The author has travelled to different countries, met legendary manufacturers, and conducted many excursions into the past, revealing various aspects of bicycle development. In the end, Rob assembled his dream machine.

«These pages are full of pioneers, eccentrics, and geniuses – it's hard to imagine that anyone who reads this book will ever buy a ready-made bike from a shop window.

– Tim Lewis, Observer

«A fantastic recent chronicle of the bike's fortunes, from its cultural history to its technical innovation, interwoven with the exciting, vivid adventures of the people who ride it… Entertaining, informative, and beautifully illustrated, What Do I Dream About When I Ride a Bike is a trail of incredible routes to the heart and soul of cycling culture and the amazing trail of tyres - the tyre print? on the entire culture of mankind.

– Maria Popova, The Atlantic
