The dream bicycle app for all cycling enthusiasts out there has finally arrived –the Cyclepedia iPad app. According to Stepehen Fry, “As mesmerisingly beautiful an iPad app as you could ever hope to see. Full of innovative but intuitive ways to navigate, this is like the most beautiful, informative and deliciously lovely guide to bicycle design as you can imagine. And if you think that bicycles are a rather humble, banal and uninteresting field of industrial design this will make you think again. Stunning."

The Cyclepedia App is an interactive encyclopedia featuring a collection of almost 100 models of bicycles in history. We’re talking about suitcase-sized Skoot, Lycra-Clad, even up to the Olympic Gold medal-winning Lotus Sport 110. What’s interesting about the app is the 360 degree photography experience it provides to its users. You can absolutely rotate bicycles in awesome 360 degrees with your fingertips. Also, you can enjoy up to 20 times magnification in the app’s zoom in and out feature that allows you to even more explore and navigate each bicycle model in stunning clarity and technical detail.
