le gasp, a photo of me.
This is me today, all dressed up for the Skagit Valley Retro Ride, a bike ride for classic bikes. We were encouraged to bring our oldest bike, and to dress retro. I won "Best Costume" :D
Pictured with me is my Hercules King. The exact year is unknown, it's a 40's or 50's model. And back there behind me is an old barn-find Schwinn.

Good for you winning Best Costume! Great photo by the way.
My first Bike was about the same vintage as the one you have there. It was English made and I don't remember how many tires I had put on it over the years. It was used when I got it... I mowed lawns to pay for it. I was 12 at the time. The gearing in high was just right for on the flat and low was just right for most of the hills I had to deal with... Most of the time I rode it in low.

Nice. This was free :Y Picked up by my uncle at a charity drive.
I don't have any gears, the shifter cable is corroded off and I haven't bothered to have a new one installed yet. Hence why I almost never ride the King, my 10-speed is much better for commuting.
