Found a really interesting item on Ebay... a resin replica of a Solar Carbide Headlamp. It is so accurate that it even has the engraved Patent info on the bottom of the base. It also has an LED inside to light up the head light (just need to supply a 6-volt power supply). Of course I had to buy...

I have made a number of postings about bicycle radios before. I just acquired probably the best and most functional bike radio ever made. The "Bike Jammer" was made from 1993 until 2003, when the company went out of business. It is housed in a fairing similar to a motorcycle fairing with a...

I have made a number of postings here on the Forum about "bicycle radios", which could be mounted on a bike, usually on the handlebars. There actually was one more option to be had... a transistor radio holder that would mount on the handlebars. I recently picked up one on Ebay. The only problem...

There are 3 bicycle radios using tubes (not transistors) that are really rare- The Tom Thumb Bicycle Radio, the Darb Holiday Bicycle radio, and the 1940 Motorola B-150 Bicycle Radio. Of these, I have the Tom Thumb and the Darb. The Holy Grail of these radios is the Motorola. Usually when these...

Came across a blank greeting card that I've had for at least 20 years...

The Annual Middletown (DE) Hummer's New Year Parade is a home grown walk around town that spoofs events and people who were in the headlines of the previous year. People just show up and strut their stuff. Generally it would start at 1 PM and be finished by 2 PM. I have participated in the...

I have a Flickr account with a number of different albums for my hobbies. One album is for bicycles, either ones I have owned or photos from a small Bicycle Museum. Check out my bikes and post a link to your collection... My Flickr Bike Album

When I was in High School, on Saturdays I would go to the Library and look at turn of the Century (1900-1910) U.S. Patent Office Gazettes. Each month would consist of 4 or 5 large books about 5 inches thick. What surprised me was the amount of bicycle patents, from complete bikes to every part...

Back in 1973 my brother and I worked on Nantucket Island as mechanics at a bike rental place. Occasionally we would see some unusual bikes, other than the 3-speed rental bikes that were everywhere. Here's 2 European bikes from the 1950's/60s. Check out the brazed on derailleurs.

I was poking around Ebay and came across this really strange looking rear wheel. Any ideas as to what it is, what it was used for? Strange Wheel

Some friends sent me a photo of an art installation from the American Art Museum at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. Since art can be interpretive, my take on this- I think this is a metaphor for the United States... one country governed by 2 political parties, each pulling in the opposite...

Found a really funky folder on Ebay. Thought it would make the perfect Boardwalk bike, as the wheel base is only 33-1/2"s axle to axle. It is well designed and well made. Stood up to FedEx's best efforts to destroy the shipping box. The company name is FUERDI. Sounds Italian but made in China. I...
