Great pics, just makes me think of all the history that some of our bikes have that we really
know nothing about......"days gone by, we live we die but the bike rides on"
gotta love what we resurect

Needed to re-add these since my first photobucket account went bonkers and I abandoned ship.

I LOVE IT!!! Some good history there. I guess there was a time when the bicycle was regarded as a serious substitute the motor car, not that it isn't now, I guess you just don't really see ladies in office gear riding through the streets... just hairy dudes in spandex... uuuurrrggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Oh yeah, and is it just me, or were mud guards invented AFTER tarmac was invented...? It would have been a pretty grubby ride to work in the morning!

Has anyone played with the new "TIME-LIFE" Photo archives on google now?
"Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google"
