A novelty is coming to bookshelves in the Retro edition, because motorcycle sidecars form an integral, but little-known part of Czechoslovak motoring history. The book provides readers with a comprehensive picture of the history of the use of sidecars in conjunction with motorcycles, which was a direct and logical consequence of the specific post-war development of motoring in Czechoslovakia. The specificity of Czechoslovak development is confirmed by the fact that in no other country has the use of motorcycle sidecars been so widespread as in Czechoslovakia. The book's advantage is a detailed mapping of the development of motorcycle sidecars in Czechoslovakia, both directly of the PAv sidecars, whose purposeful and yet very tasteful and timeless design embodied the materialization of efforts to use the motorcycle as a full-fledged means of transport, as well as of predecessors and also of amateur-built sidecars, for which the PAv sidecars were an inspiration. Individual sidecars are described in detail and appropriately documented photographically. Based on the processing of many period documents, the book also provides information on the practical operation of carts, their maintenance and repairs.
