What is a Bicycle?

Pictures of things that are or are not bicycles. Trying to keep the racer stuff and pictures of unsightly fixies to a minimum.

A sweet overview of 1991 race bikes, including footage of early elastomer suspension, Campagnolo groupsets, and aluminum bikes with elevated chainstays. Classic stuff!

Super close match sprints, both the 3/4th race (Harnet/Neiwand) and the 1/2 race (Northstein/Feidler). The both first heats are too close to tell, so you have to wait until the second (or third!?) to figure out who won.
