great thread and fabulous pics!! I never gave thought to people doing anything much more than riding about town (maybe promenading is a better word) or racing on Ordinaries. Then after it was recomended somewhere on BF I read "The Lost Cyclist" and realized that for a whole generation or more these bikes were actually a huge source of not only local transport but a resource for traveling great distance for both work and recreation.

great pics!. there is a repro one of these at a local shop, one of these days i may have to hop on it just say I did ride one.


btw the rack on the split window is cool too
