«Radfahren. Ein fröhliches Wörterbuch.» is the humorous dictionary by Josef Ebner and Horst Wendland, published by Tomus Verlag in hardback (96 pages, in German).
Starting from the parodic definition of radfahren as the art of maintaining outer balance on two wheels to find inner balance, the book humorously explores the world of the bicycle. An illustrated glossary portraying outdoor enthusiasts, car detractors and die-hard pedalers; its pages include entries on the cycling «Mischehe», on racers' immunity to fashion, or on the usefulness of the mountain bike for climbing the Zugspitze.
The work belongs to the «Die fröhlichen Wörterbücher» series from Tomus Verlag, recognisable in the edition's records. The cover shows an illustration of three characters on a tandem and a border decorated with bicycles; the interior combines text with drawings by Horst Wendland, and documented copies exist since 1986.
