One of my favorite places in Chicago. Spent a great night there last Thursday with friends as a bluegrass/folk band played with a great fiddler. One day I hope to even buy one of their bikes!

Washington, D.C., circa 1921. "Times boy and bicycle." One of the winners of a Washington Times subscription-selling contest and his prize, a Mead Ranger bike.
