1905 Firemans Bicycle?

Stumbled onto this picture and had to share. How cool would this be to cruise around town on ?

Pretty darn cool. Folks would start fires in the hopes you would ride up.
Thanks for sharing.

That bike is pretty cool, I've even seen it on the steam punk site, believe it's a BSA.
