Remember the bicycle you had as a child? A bicycle was a young boy's or girl's chance to be free. They could be anyone or go anywhere they wanted to. The feeling of freedom, the wind in their face. Recapture that feeling, that spirit these bicycles invoked in children.
Balloon tires, horn tanks, headlights, knee action forks, luggage racks. These were all attempts by bicycle manufacturers to gain their share of the market. During the manufacturing boom after World War II, bicycle companies went all out to attract buyers. Some of these bicycles are true art forms. Enjoy these photos of various examples of the quality and design once offered by American craftsmen. Most are from my personal collection and sometimes available for sale.
