In a New York City post office, a WW2 monument and tribute.. and a postal delivery bike

strange that it's front tire was a smaller size than the back, but had to be in order to accomodate the big basket
Found on http://www.amusingplanet.com/2011/05/dirk-skrebers-car-crash-sculptures.html where the painting behind the WW2 monument is discussed, it's an art deco piece titled Manhattan Skyline, painted by artist Louis Lozowick at the height of the art deco movement as a Works Project Administration commission. It's 18 feet tall, and in the Farley post office on 8th Ave.

someone really wants that motorcycle in the country

The first big dog motorcycle?

A dual rear mount sidecar

How long do you suppose he had those stupid handlebars before someone laughed at him?
