My mother on the balloon tire, my aunt and uncle on her left. And my grandparents. 1940
My mother was so strong they had to get her a slower bike. Like me.

I love the pictures of your Grandparents all dressed up. They are a very handsome couple.
Do you still have any of the bikes in the pictures?

The middle bike looks like a Raleigh Sports. The drop bar bike is also likely British with the Sturmey 3 speed hub & quadrant shifter and Bluemels-type fender. The real experts should be along shortly.
