Phil (ascentale)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.

f*cking b*tch club@ascentale @bikenite A3: This was a fascinating blog post, maybe not quite what you’re looking for, but I hadn’t heard of it.

#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.
