Old Recumbent Photo

[Joe Keenan]

http://library.christchurch.org.nz/Heritage/Photos/Cyclists.asp Has some old photos from a New
Zealand website.

And to separate religion from state, Christchurch is a town!!

Check out the photo, "Gloucester Street Bridge", for the Rotary Cycle and the Humber Tricycle.
According to the "Bicycle Man" in upstate New York, the Rotary Cycle was designed to run in the
smooth ruts on the roads of that day. The Humber also rode in the tracks, but was bumpier due to the
third wheel.

Makes a rainy, cold winter day more funner.

modern bikes. Especially when you consider what kind of headache Mr. Wood had

I'm getting increasingly confused here, Dean. Have you got a Reply-O-Matic which pops up and fires
off the above message at random?
