Speaking of vintage...
And finally, an anecdote from the “Whirls of the Wheel” from May 16, 1892: “A married man recently purchased a pneumatic safety. On his first ride the tires gradually deflated. He returned it and some repair was made, but on the next excursion his fate was similar. Ultimately…he discovered that his spouse had been pricking the tires with a pin as an effective means of keeping her lord at home.”

What is better? ... a wife who makes sure a new set of tires and tubes appear like magic on the work bench — hoping you'll ride away into the western sunset — forever?
