Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Happy Mother's Day, Moms!

Hope on this day for Moms is filled with hugs and love.

Let's see what classics you've found from the past week, (hopefully some ladies bikes, represent).
Whether, it be bike related or not.
Please, include pictures as we do love pictures!

I picked up this 38/39 Ivory Ladies Elgin Special on Tuesday and I’m absolutely in love. My wife, on the other hand, is only beginning to warm to the idea that this is her bike to ride. And when I suggested that it might be her Mother’s Day present... let’s just say I’m lucky to be typing this right now.

LOL! I did the same thing Mothers Day 1995. I gave her a '57 JC Higgins Jet Flow. She never liked it,really couldnt blame her. It was too heavy and kinda rickety. The seat was hard as a rock too.Kinda funny,I kept that bike longer than her
 
While not bike related, it is Mothers day today. My classic 1927 example is 92 now & well. Below is her dad's homesteaded Montana wheat farm she grew up on during the depression in Plentywood, MT. She rode her bike every day until she was 86 but began to wipe out on it so gave it up. Tough as nails.
