They are great photos. I’ll have to find a pic of my dad with his first bike, he won it in a toothpaste competition in about 1949. It was way too big for him.
Did I mention that my granddad rode with Oppy? Cos he did.

It’s great to see these photos being appreciated. I work with these collections at SLQ and it’s great to see people tapping into them. PS - heavymetal lot of love at my work for your signature.

Thanks, been meaning to reply to your pm, but keep forgetting. I’m in a corporate library, and the lack of understanding of what we do is remarkable.
