Amid apocalyptic invasions and time travel, one common machine continually appears in H.G. Wells's works: the bicycle. In The War of the Wheels, Withers examines this mode of transportation as both something that played a significant role in Wells's personal life and as a literary device for creating elaborate characters and exploring complex themes.
