The Velocipede: Its History, Varieties, and Practice

by J. T. Goddard

About the author

J. T. Goddard is listed as the author of the Gavin Rashford novels Missing, Piracy, Found, Traces, Tracks, and Scammers across major book platforms. From the available listings, the series appears to center on investigations and crime fiction, with Missing following a police officer pulled into a case involving a university town and wider criminal activity.

The name also appears on The Velocipede: Its History, Varieties, and Practice, an 1869 book about early cycling that has been preserved by Project Gutenberg and library catalogs. Because the available sources do not clearly show whether the modern novelist and the 19th-century writer are the same person or simply share the same byline, it is safest to treat that connection with caution.

Public biographical detail on J. T. Goddard is limited in the sources I could confirm, so a fuller personal profile is not easy to verify. What is clear is that the name is associated with both contemporary mystery fiction and a notable historical work on the early bicycle.
