The middle one is a mid to late 80's Raleigh Pursuit mixte. The bottom one is a mid 70's John Deere step though.

The first one has a one piece crank which means it's either old or cheap. It might be a touring bike based on the rack.

None of them are special. They're just old.

There are collectors of John Deere tractors who may be interested in the bike.
