George, Once again you have made history come alive. The illustrations are so interesting. My mother was born in 1922 and she was a tomboy. She wanted to get a bike but her mom thought the bicycle was too dangerous. She offered my mom a dog if she gave up the idea of a bicycle. When I was young my mom rode a bike. When she was in her 50-60s she and my dad and friends rode their bikes over the Golden Gate Bridge many times. So she got the best of both worlds. She enjoyed bike riding and got a family pet named Rex.
