In bicycles, design and technology are increasingly meld, as is particularly evident in the frame and its materials, but also in the drive system used, the suspension and the wheels.

The highlights of bicycle design from 1817 to the present day can be traced on the basis of numerous detailed photographs. The spectrum extends from handmade frames or industrial mass production to bicycles made with a 3D printer.

Cult Object, Design Object, Bicycle explores these fascinating developments, capturing the intricate relationship between form and function within the world of bicycles.
