My Dad's 1940s bicycle scrapbook part 1

I am starting put together my family's history in the bicycle business. My Dad went to High School in Los Angeles. He told me rode his bike everywhere and was very interested in cycle racing. These pictures are from the scrapbook he made during the 1940s. Had to split into 2 posts because of the 10 picture limit.

Interesting that Dad met Reg Harris in the 1970s at the New York Bike Dealer Show - Reg had made an amazing comeback racing again winning a British title in 1974 at the age of 54.
