Bicycle shop stickers

-
We did a little beach cruising this weekend, and were surprised, when we came across this old Schwinn shop on the way down there.

It’s called Carson Cyclery now.

But, they still had the original display board up.

Pretty cool to see.

This frame was hanging on the wall, with a shop sticker from another nearby store.

Unfortunately, we had our own repair work, when one of the chainring positioning pin holes gave out.

But, the hat says Ride, not Go Home, so with a little roadside repair, and some good fore thought from the boys at, Arnold Schwinn & Company, we were back on the road in no time.

You see, they gave you two more chances, by punching three holes in the spider, instead of just one.
Thanks, Mr. Schwinn!

Another perfect day along the coast.

The scenery is alway pretty spectacular down here.

No repairs necessary this time, but we stopped at another long time local bike shop.

Sun up, to Sundown.
Just the way I like it!
 
There’s a remnant of a point of purchase decal on the downtube of this old 1923 Indian.

Not much of it left, but. I struck pay dirt, when this old brochure showed up on eBay.

Oddly enough, this Indian dealer was right in the heart of Harley Country!

I’m not sure if any of these buildings are what’s left of Jim Clark, The Motorcycle Man’s dealership.

They look pretty dilapidated, so it’s possible that this was the place.

It looked full service, with a gas station on the corner, but time has not been kind, to The Badger State Motorcycle Company.
