Marco Ballestracci presents his latest book, "Making Bicycles. Stories of Inventors and Great Enterprises" (ADD Editore), in conversation with Davide Sacchetto, a teacher at the "Peano" high school in Cuneo.
From old-time workshops to visionaries, blacksmiths, and engineers, from Tullio Campagnolo to Shozaburo Shimano, from the Californian pioneers of mountain biking to Keith Haring, from Edoardo Bianchi to the genius of Dario Pegoretti, Marco Ballestracci takes us to the workshops where the bikes of champions and those we use every day took shape. Whether dusty caves or high-tech laboratories matter, because if the human element is at the heart of competitive cycling, the places where parts are forged and frames are shaped are just as important. The same timeless passion lies there, too.
