Riding my Motorbike
Offered here is a Fifty Years of Schwinn Built Bicycles book-produced in 1945. These books were supplied originally to the Schwinn distributors/dealers. After ww2 many veterans got small business loans through the government. Many had just years before worked on their bikes or their buddies bikes before the war and it seemed like a natural skill. In the inner city many people could not afford an automobile-nor did many need one. The bicycle was the perfect means of transportation for health and sport. These books were supplied to all the Schwinn dealers up into the early 1950's. Schwinn wanted the dealer to have some basic bicycle history/knowledge and instill a sense of pride and to be a part of the Schwinn Bicycle Company's long and proud history. A brief history of bicycles and their development and milestones from the hobby horse 'bike' to Schwinn's commitment to bicycle racing are covered. Profusely illustrated with drawings and photographs of the factory and various accomplishments by the Schwinn Bicycle Company. I am sure many were sold by the retail stores also. Book is in near mint condition and in the original shipping box. There are no marks or greasy fingerprints in/on the book. Great display piece for the Schwinn aficionado. I accept paypal and will cover the shipping. Will be re-boxed for safe arrival.
