iPad app references sheldonbrown.com
The recently-released iPad app Cyclepedia is for the most part a very slick, enhanced presentation of 100 bicycles in a historical collection ranging from 1920 to the present. The photography is superb, the bicycles are of many different types, and the app makes full use of the iPad to rotate and zoom the images, even to swipe images of folding bicycles to see how they fold. Cyclepedia was app of the week in the UK iPad store. It references sheldonbrown.com for further technical information.
