A few historical bikes at the market. The bike in the centre is an "elliptical chainless bicycle" 1896. A bike of this type is featured in Paul Farren's book. |

Atomic Zombie unicycle on sale |
Hi
About a week ago I visited a bike market at Abbotsford cycles, which is (slightly confusingly) located under Richmond station. This market is a semi-regular event and a chance to catch up with a few bike type people (ok, blokes) that I know from years of bike riding and activities around Melbourne and buy bike books ("Early Bicycles" and Paul Farren signed "
Bicycling through Time" for me) and various bits of bike junk, (2 pairs of old pedals, potentially more Vi-trike wheels. So hello to me old mates Ross Harrup, Chook (selling off about 1% of his shed contents), John Harland, Adrian Cox, Michael Kater and Matt Benn.
Regards
Steve Nurse
