I was curious enough to ask, how many people have read this book?
Wheels in His Head was written by the son of Alvin J Musselman.
From the bio page:
Alvin J. Musselman (1873-1950) was a bicycle repairman who would go on to invent a number of important devices, including improved brakes for bicycles, super balloon bicycle tires and the braking system for the B-29 bomber. Morris M. Musselman later chronicled his father's accomplishments in his book "Wheels in His Head: Father and His Inventions"
Anyhow Alvin wasn’t just about tires and brakes. He was an acrobat, a pioneer golfer, inventor of many things, and a bicycle racer.
The story of how he invented new coaster brakes is actually not as exciting as the story about why.
This was a book that my parents gave me as a small child and I don’t think I have a copy anymore. It’s a bit rare and you might pay $40 for a 70 year old copy.
Anyhow I am digging my super balloon tires a lot, so thank you Alvin!
