Some of you might not realize this (or care :P) but before Cheval Verite was La Bicyclette. I got my start making Victorian cycles and active wear (such as those liberating cycling and bathing costumes), and they've always been my spiritual "fountainhead" here.

Well, they've been on the market long enough that I'd like to offer them to all as freebies. I've only put them out for sale in the Port right now, as that was my first plot of land and reminds me of all those early happy days zipping about those hills on my unicycle.

Four cycles (including a non-depicted unicycle) as well as my old Victorian Bicycling outfits are out there now. Have fun, and try not to hit anyone!


Here's a few daguerreotypes (for the record the "pizza cutter wheels" of the pennyfarthing in the first picture have been changed out for wheels like the other cycles have. Nostalgia only takes one so far ; ) )
