Interesting. What goes around, comes around. I really believe we are living the best years of bicycling. The bicycles at the turn of the century make modern Huffy's look attractive. They had poor or no brakes, heavy and expensive enough to buy property!
As for that woman with scarlet fever, she would probably be driving a big SUV today.
