March 7 - 28, 2008, Bull City Bicycles gathers historic and contemporary photography of bicycles in Durham, NC. A celebration of the aesthetic simplicity, utility, and joy of bicycles, this show documents Durham's sense of place from two wheels.



Sources of photography include The Herald Sun, The Durham County Library, The Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library at Duke University, The Smithsonian Institution, the North Carolina State Archives, as well as curator Phillip Barron's own photographs.

I would love help from identifying any of the vintage bikes you see in this collection. I already know (or believe at least) that Mamie Dowd's bike is an Overman Victoria. The ordinaries, I don't know much about except that they sold for $125 a piece in 1887. And, I also know that Durham was flooded with Columbias in the 40s.

Looks fascinating. The photo of the bicycle wheel in snow was lovely...
