On Training Wheels
Hi everybody. My name is Rick and I live in Florida in the United States and recently die acquired an incredibly rare bike that I’m trying to find out more about. It is an Aberdale 3 speed, English made. From what little I’ve been able to find out about the bike Aberdale apparently made bikes and their England plant from 1935 to 1945 making it a World War II era bike by default. And then crazy enough. This thing is practically impeccable shape it’s just missing a back reflector. The tires are full and it’s one of the best riding bikes I’ve ever ridden in my life.
I have searched forum after forum and there’s nothing in the US about it and from what I’m thinking from what it says it was a Englishman‘s working class bike during the war and once metals became rare most of them were smelt and used for making munitions, so I’m thinking that it must’ve been used for some type of in- war short distance use in another country and was somehow brought to the United States. I found it in the thrift shop and I knew there was something special about it. I don’t know if this needs to go in a museum or sent back to England or what but I don’t even know where to begin. If any of you can help me with this, it would be much much appreciated. Thank you!
