last one for tonight. some 1950s and 1960s #bicycles

bottom right: Pee-wee Herman's bike
top right: a pretty green Huffy with a radio built into the frame! aptly called Radiobike®️ and it has red grips and a freakin headlight!
bottom left: predecessor to the recumbent bike
top left: a slick beautiful bike from Sears called Spaceliner. it has a sort of mid-century modern mixed with art deco styling. i'll be posting more very cool Sears bikes tomorrow. for now, goodnight!
