Description
We love those old bikes that had to work for their living. Compare alley cats and house cats. Unlike their lucky cousins living a charmed existence pampered by their owners, delivery bikes carried goods and were usually ridden by employees rather than considerate owners. Many were leased to companies with repair guarantees that meant it didn't matter how they were treated. From the earliest days of cycling, carrier cycles and commercial trikes were piled high with goods to be delivered by lads with strong thighs. In France, an early Labour Law prohibited boys under fourteen and women from riding them.
