It is about thirty years since 'The Ingenious Mr Pedersen' was published. Since then much more information has been found about Mikael Pedersen. We now know, for example,  that he was of major importance to the expansion of the British engineering firm of R.A.Lister & Co. alongside Anders Mellerup. Mikael was a free thinking inventor, Anders was a hard headed business man. In the Dursley Pedersen bicycle story it is possible that without Anders this cycle may never have been produced commercially.

This year (2006) we hope to produce a new and bigger book about Mikael and his cycle. It will include something about Anders Mellerup, something about why Mikael, Anders and the Lister company are so important to the history of the town of Dursley, something on New Pedersen cycles in which Jesper Solling led the way - and much more! And lots of illustrations!
