— Cycling in Ilkeston 1880 - 1900 - At the start of the period covered by this book cycling was a pastime for well-off young men with a taste for speed, and bicycle clubs were a focal point of male social life.

- The rise and fall of the Ilkeston Bicycle Club
- Cycle racing and local champions
- Women cyclists
- Accidents and law breakers
- Cycling as entertainment
