#Bikehistory
From the @librarycongress.bsky.social Chronicling America project, my go-to database for digitized historical newspapers: The June 12, 1952 Washington DC "Evening Star," page B12. Certainly part of a post-war American culture that associated the bike with childhood. #bikesky #bikehistory

Happy Monday #bikesky! The trial and error of learning to ride a #bike is as old as the bicycle itself 🚲 Every cyclist had to learn including the ones from ye olden days.

Leland & Faulconer Mfg had a plant on Trombly St (now just west of GM's Factory Zero) where they made the best direct drive gearing system for bicycles in 1900. Leland later created Cadillac in 1902 and Lincoln in 1917. #bikehistory

in 1909, 90% of all bicycle inner tubes sold were made in Detroit by Morgan & Wright, who later became part of U.S. Rubber Company then UniRoyal. Something to think about when riding the RiverWalk near their former plant site. #bikehistory https://buff.ly/3DYnp1m

The Twenty-Five Bicycle Club was founded in Detroit in 1891. It was limited to 25 members and included Will Rands as a Captain. You may have ridden past the Rand's house on the WSU campus along Cass across from the main library. https://buff.ly/3ZUMJNj #bikehistory

100 years ago tomorrow.
