"I often hear now-a-days, the automobile instigated good roads; that the automobile is the parent of good roads. Well, the truth is, the bicycle is the father of the good roads movement in this country."

"...the League of American Wheelmen was formed in 1879, with each state organized as a division. The League was the first organization that promoted the building of better roads. The League fought for the privilege of building bicycle-paths along the side of public highways. The League fought for the privilege of carrying bicycles in baggage cars on railroads. The League fought for equal privileges with horse-drawn vehicles. All these battles were won and the bicyclist was accorded equal rights with other users of highways and streets."

-- Quotes by Horatio S. Earle [wikipedia]

A Community for Bikes and "Bikes"!

Bicycles, Mopeds, Motorbikes, Mountain Bikes, Motorcycles, Scooters, Sprees all of em' and more! Tricycles, even! Quads, and three-wheelrs, too! Velocipedes and other historic models as well, of course.

Do you want to show off your bike, and post a picture of your bike here? Do you want to sell, buy, or trade a bike -- and post your bike want ad here? Do you want to talk about bike repair, and post a question or an answer about bike help here?

Do you have important questions or answers about: biking safety; biking rules; or biking, traffic, and pedestrian laws for your town, state, or country? Wouldn't you like to post it all here?

Have anything to share about freestyling, stunts, or tricks?

Welcome! Do all of those things and whatever else you can think of, here. It's all free! It's LiveJournal Bikes :)
