Your bicycle. Exploded

If re-assembling your bicycle – or anything else for that matter – after an afternoon’s tinkering, ever results in leftover components, you will appreciate Things Come Apart a recently-published book by Thames & Hudson.

Each photograph by Todd McLellan interprets the knuckle-grazing frustration child-like joy of taking something apart to see how it works.

The book includes images of all manner of ‘exploded’ items. It will appeal to anyone with a curiosity about the mechanical world.

Help! I’ve damaged my bicycle

Cycle insurance from the ETA can’t help if you’ve taken your bike to bits and can’t put it back together, but it does cover accidental damage as well as many other benefits such as theft, vandalism, free race cover, £5m third party, low excess, world plus European cover and even breakdown recovery for you and your bike. All from as little as 40p per week.
