No tandems though. On a tangent, there were also a number of interesting bikes produced for military use. They had features for carrying firearms and other gear. The Brits made a folder for use by paratroopers. Most military models were produced for WW1 when motorized transport was still in its infancy. Bob Schwartz |

I saw the British paratrooper folder at the Musee du Velo, unique en France, in Cormatin. That sucker weighed about 20 kg. Pivoted around the seat tube, I think. Also, although there was a steel shortage during WWII, rubber was in even shorter supply (gas rationing in the US? That wasn't because of a shortage of gas--it was to reduce driving and the need for rubber) so bicycle tires were hard to get. I saw an example of a bike using wound springs in place of rubber tires. |
