A finales del siglo XIX Inglaterra experimenta la época dorada de la bicicleta; más accesible y segura, deja de ser un medio de transporte y ocio restringido a burgueses y se convierte en una "máquina de libertad" para bolsillos menos pudientes. Las mujeres, en su mayoría confinadas al hogar, tampoco dejarán pasar esta oportunidad.

Ruedas de Fortuna es una novela que explora los cambios sociales que provoca la irrupción de la bicicleta en una rígida sociedad victoriana a través de Hoopdriver, dependiente en un comercio de telas de Londres quien, sin apenas saber manejar una bicicleta, decide realizar un viaje por el sur de Inglaterra. En el camino se cruzará con una joven ciclista de ideas avanzadas que le hará cambiar de planes. Una aventura narrada con humor altamente británico por un Wells que conoció de primera mano esos caminos.
