The Three Wheel Bicycle



Bicycles have been around for a long time. However, a three wheel bicycle has always been a rare thing. This one was used by twin women who used it to take eggs to town on Saturdays. They lived pm a dirt road out in the country about 5 miles from Pollock, Louisiana. After selling their eggs, they used the money to buy groceries while in town. The groceries, animal feed, personal items, etc. were put in the basket between the back two wheels and taken home. These two ladies didn't mind the ride and it saved a lot of money on gas. Bicycle repairs were less than those of a car or truck and there were no monthly payments. Come to think of it.......maybe some of us would be better off with a three wheel bicycle today!!!
