The Epiplectic Bicycle is a 1969 book written and illustrated by American author Edward Gorey, first published by Dodd, Mead & Co. The story follows two children who take a strange ride on a bicycle that steers itself. When first published, reviewers commented on the book's spare text and Gorey's draftsmanship. Gorey once told biographer Alexander Theroux it was a favorite among his own books.
