Need help with a project
Doing a flickr photo project for American History class. I need 4 photos, I can really use any photos that I can somehow link to my research(which doesn't need to be specific to the photo, so thats easy), but it would be most helpful if I could find a photo of some bikes from the late 1800's through 1950's, maybe an interesting picture of something more modern.
Or a picture actually from the early 1900's would be awesome, but one of the requirements is the photos must be unpublished, but we are allowed to use internet networks(friendslist on myspace et.) and communities(of which we are already members of) for help.
The theme is the use of a bicycles for utiliarian purposes, especially transportation. So photos capturing the aspest would be best. The older the better. I have one of a parking lot in amsterdam already that I am going to use for the modern photo.
Despite it being a US history class, it doesn't have to be focused on the US, so international is fine. If someone had a photo of villagers in say the far east using bikes, or at least a picture of the type of bike they might use, that would be a good one too.
EDIT: And I know this is longshot, especially since I think I saw it in the touring forum, but there was a website featuring the story of two women in the ..50's? who road their bikes from somewhere in the NE down the mississippi river, following a route that Hemmingway first charted. Anyone know what I am talking about?
