Ride a Bicycle, circa 1919


I came across this and thought it was interesting enough to share; it's from 1919. What I found really interesting is what the advert says on the left-hand side of the page, about halfway down (click the image; you may still need to enlarge it to read it). It states, "Ride a Bicycle. Physical fitness will safeguard the Peace, Health, and Prosperity of our Nation. The Bicycle is a health-builder, a time and money saver." Did I mention that this ad is nearly 100 years old. Hmm...
