Stumbled across a picture of everyone's favorite literary hero, Henry Miller - posing with what looks like a fixie... truly a man ahead of his time!

I was just at the Turku one, with all that glass. Doing nothing.
EDIT: What does going to a library have anything to do with knowing this guy? |
Hemingway liked bikes. He wrote some great stuff (if you like hemingway) about the velodrome.

mmm, yep... definitely appears to be a coaster brake...
Miller riding bicycles and Hemingway writing about the velodrome seems quite fitting... Ah, the sporting life... |
Miller is the man.

Henry Miller is the original NYC bike hipster, he wrote a story about growing up in Brooklyn and riding an old Czech track bike (with a slanting top tube) he got from an ex six-day racer, and how all the neighborhood mothers would warn their kids to watch out for him, because he rode really fast and had no brakes. He also had an aforementioned skinny, hip lady friend with a bob... I think the story is called "My Best Friend"
