Today we displayed our bikes at the Farmers' Market to promote bikes and the upcoming Art Of The Bicycle show. It's great how much attention the bicycles get. A lot of questions are asked and stories are told.
A little history on the red steer from rear tandem in this photo and else where in this thread. Can't remember who made it but it was badged and sold by the Simmons Hardware company here in Wichita. Simmons Hardware produced a line of knives and cutting utensils under the name of Keen Kutter in the early 1900s. The big building in the background is the old Keen Kutter building (barely read it on the tower) and is now a hotel. A few more photos from today here.

A "Coaster" was on our local news on a segment about bicycling. He's riding the red steer from rear tandem. Check out the video link here http://www.kwch.com/Global/story.asp?S=8738940

We really do have a great time and a great classic and custom bike community here. It's so neat to be sitting out on the patio at the starting point for our pub pedal and watching to see what new bikes and/or people come rolling in for the first time. Oh and even better is waiting with anticipation on our theme nights to see what Dangratsdan and his sweetheart come rolling up on/as.

Took this last night. I'll try to get a better photo sometime.
