Here is a pic a friend from Australia of his old bike along with his friends, I think he said is a Melvin Star Dragster.

We know him as Steve Evilstretch, he own some very cool Hearses including a 50's Australian Chrysler Hearse.

What is this thing, other than a mobile disco. Where's the drive? The front wheel? Strange old thing.

Looks like you twist the right side or maybe both grips to make it go or maybe row the handlebars and foot pads back and forth like the tandem thing on a swingset to make it move forward.

Reminds me of Fritz von Opel's efforts to make one of the motorbikes his father built in his factory faster:

While we are at it, here are all von Opel brothers:

All of them where accomplished cycle racers.

However, Fritz must have been the most normal of them all. He attached rockets to anything he could get his hands on. Cars, bikes, motorboats, even a glider plane and a railway draisine.

This is a picture of my Great Uncle who was a cycling fanatic. It was taken sometime in the late 30s I imagine.
