Vintage Bicycles - The Police


Police did and still do use bicycles in their job. Obviously the days of the vintage bicycle were the days that police officers pedaled round in style. Today the copper on a bicycle has become quite comical as cars and other transport take president. Vintage police officers on vintage bicycles ruled the streets. Another iconic moment in the history of vintage bicycles.

Vintage Bicycles - Strange shapes

Vintage bicycles unlike modern bicycles didn't conform to a regulation shape that was standard throughout the world. Instead their design was open to interpretation and therefore many strange and wonderful designs were born. In the above picture we can see the semicircle shaped frame to the bicycle which gives it a sense of uniqueness and style.

Vintage Bicycles - Penny Farthing

What's more vintage than a penny farthing. The original Bicycle. What better to demonstrate this then the above picture. The cyclist complete with traditional facial hair and attire along with the fact that the picture is in black and white. Just brilliant.
