Hard to find folks that might appreciate this, but I thought it was pretty cool. Turned up this old photo album at a flea market back in the 1990's, with a section of photos showing club riders and local bike shops in the central California area around 1900 to 1910:
Wow, what an amazing find! The Mouse driven Racycle store display is incredible, as are the other store displays. Those giant cranks must have been wood made by pattern maker shops. They were sure ahead of the curve on the Burning Man/Art Bikes movement.
Wonder what it would be like to just step back in time and visit one of those old shops.
When I was 10 years old (I’m now 76 ) there was a Schwinn shop about three blocks from where I lived. I would visit that shop not to buy anything just look around and touch the new bikes.
