Q3. Do you have, or have you photos of any old bike-related or bike advocacy ephemera?
Our office has a paper archive, and I saw this from the Philadelphia Bicycle Coalition in 1972.

A friend of the family sent these clippings to me a while back. He made the paper for biking to work year-round & for organizing an annual Groundhog Day ride in Minneapolis. Circa 1969 (by 1971, Mike had left his accounting job at Honeywell and became Director of Northwoods Audubon Center, and did great things there; that’s how I knew him).
@ascentale @bikenite A3: This was a fascinating blog post, maybe not quite what you’re looking for, but I hadn’t heard of it.
“Yes, New York had a 2,000-mile bicycle highway system by the year 1900”

#bikenite #A3 - Sadly, I don't have scans, but some years ago while searching a storeroom at my great-grandparents house, I found a collection of letters in a drawer of an old side table that had been sent by my great-grandfather to my great-grandmother, who he was then courting, during a bike ride he made from Salt Point (near Poughkeepsie) to Niagara Falls in the 1890s.
