Bicycle

This bicycle is displayed in the Glasgow Museum of Transport and Travel, in the Riverside Museum Building.

I object to it being called a "museum", because museums (musea?) impliy old things and I certainly do not regard the 1995 ford Granada shown there as being old! But the presentation is wonderful, and it is a very pleasant place to while away an afternoon - the more so with admission being free and car parking just £1!

Anyway, the above may possibly be the oldest bicycle in the world!

According to the display card, the inventor - Gavin Dalzell - may have copied an earlier design, but the curators of the museum are confident this it is the oldest surviving bicycle in the world.
