Adam Hart-Davis continues his scientific cycling tour.

In Delft, Hart-Davis profiles the draper who was the first person to see bacteria through a microscope and the book-keeper whose gravity experiments predated Galileo's by four years.
He also celebrates Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, inventor of the standard calibrated thermometer, and uses his bike to reconstruct the world's first pendulum clock.
