The search function shows me that there's mention of it in the general discussion forum (and also that there's an iPad app version), but I think it's worth a mention here too... so...
I recently received as a gift the book Cyclepedia
The subtitle is A Tour of Iconic Bicycle Designs.
You can google it and check it out for yourself, but it's a lovely book and very 'on topic" for this forum.
Anyway, just a FYI.

We had it out of the Tassie state library recently. Lots of photos and well worth a look.

plenty of exotica, but no unis I'm afraid. The iPad version is well worth a look. Lot's of thought has gone into navigation but the best bit are the 3D VR, you can turn the bikes round to view from any angle

Wow - I really feel like I'm from a bygone age now. We get the shared paper version from the library, and there's a 3D electronic version

I also got a copy as a gift. To my taste it has an emphasis on "creative design" rather than function & therefore has a bias towards ugly bikes, especially folding bikes, which I go on about in this thread.
