Mystery Bike: Theme Day- bicycle #2


I am not sure how to decipher this old and interesting registration tag on the rear fender of a very old bike I spotted at the Highland Park branch library.  The bike itself had seen better days; I hung around for awhile to wait for the owner who never emerged while I was there.  I wanted to get a bit of history about both the bike and the rider. Sometimes you're just not successful.

  1. Gosh that is a really fascinating registration tag Kate.. old for sure, much more festive than yesterday :) I did the very same thing as you, there's a guy with a parrot on his bike parked outside the TAB in Northbridge everyday and would you believe when I went in to snap it for the theme.. nowhere in sight, I even had a coffee and waited, no luck :)

  2. Too bad you didn't find the owner. I've never seen a bike plate quite like this. I don't think too many places around here require bike registration. If they did it might cut down on the theft!

  3. It does look old but I see by it's decorations that someone loves it.

  7. Wait! I think I recall that there was a time where bikes needed plates in Maine. Like before I ever had a bike. Was I dreamin? Drawing a big blank here.
