Coventry Transport Museum Bike Collection
I visited this amazing museum today which has a huge collection of old bikes to modern ones (alongside their car exhitis of course).
The Rover Safety Bike (1888)
Description of the Rover Safety Bike
Dursley Pederson (circa 1905) - alternative frame geomerty to the "normal" diamond shape
That seat might be quite comfy!
More detail about the Dursley Pederson. Dursley is a village in Gloucestershire which also had a very famous engine maker (Lister Petter).
The Covid bike - one at the front and one at the rear for maximum spacing!
Gulson Touring Bike - note the very narrow handlebars which must have made it had to steer and keep straight.
Story of the Gulson Touring Bike - a love story. He must have loved the woman dearly who caused him to ride 120 miles on that bone shaker!
WW1 folding bike circa 1918
The famous Chopper Bike!
