BICYCLES

I love bicycles and bicycle culture. This culture appears to swell in membership by the month. So many lives are affected in so many ways with the choices we have in this culture. It affects all ages and all kinds of options, memorials, and competition whether they are casual or intentional. The support system is built around comfort, convenience, better lighting, clothing, opportunities, lanes, time, age and money.
When I look at the worldwide influences and the use in China, India and Holland, I appreciate the use of this vehicle partially supported in the early stages by the brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright before their venture in to flight.
With the influx of higher parking rates and traffic tie-ups in modern cities, I praise the three different bicycles I have that allow me to enjoy this vehicle for different approaches.
Here are some examples of bicycle folklore in the most popular time for bicycles in the Bay Area and the United States.
