This book is the first comprehensive history of the development of
the British bicycle industry from the perspective of business and
economic history. Focusing on themes such as entrepreneurship,
personal capitalism, and organisational, technological and cultural
change, the shifting fortunes of the industry are traced through
the business history of one of its leading firms, Raleigh. The
history of the company is then set within the context of more
general trends in the industry's evolution over three chronological
periods: 1870 to 1914, 1914 to 1939, and 1939 to 1960. In addition
to the story of Raleigh, the business activities of other leading
bicycle firms such as Rudge-Whitworth, Hercules, BSA, J. A.
Phillips and BCC, the bicycle division of Tube Investments, are
examined to inform our understanding of the business evolution of
the industry. The book demonstrates that the British bicycle
industry was both tenacious and dynamic, typified by the personal
leadership of entrepreneurs such as Frank and Harold Bowden at
Raleigh.
