on Aug 22nd, 2006Little change
I had the opportunity to view a few original bicycles from Orville and Wilbur Wright over the weekend. Before they made airplanes, they made bicycles. It struck me that not a lot has changed about bicycles over the many years.
Sure, technologies have changed, but the overall concept and basics of a bicycle haven’t changed. Some of the frames look similiar to the frames of today. A couple of the biggest differences today are weight and components. Today’s bicycles are lighter and stronger. They tend to take a lot more abuse today.
Oh how I long for the days when the front tire was 4 feet high!
Those were some bad-ass rides back in the day!
Something borked?
I hope these are fixed now. Only time will tell.
lol dave, you remember back that far!?
