The Wheels of Chance is a comic novel by H. G. Wells.
[edit] Plot introduction
This novel chronicles a bicycle trip taken by one Mr. Hoopdriver. As you might be able to tell from the title it is not a science fiction story, but rather a comedy. It is also one of a very few novels on bicycling, and is certainly one of the earliest novels on bicycling that is still in print.
