I know the picture is terrible, but it still seemed worth posting. 

Schwinn Swingrays























This blog has some great posts of Shwinn Stingrays and Swing Bikes.  I especially like this one with the awesome wheelie bar.

Austin YellowBike System

This is cool.  Austin, TX's YellowBike system bikes are all donated and volunteer-restored bikes.  They also offer a free repair shop or space to work on your own bike.

Found via this blog.

Harry Lawsons Bicyclette



















"James Starley's Rover of 1885 was the first successful bike in which pedals and a crank drove the rear wheel with a chain, but he was not the first with that design. In 1879 Englishman Harry Lawson designed and patented a version of a large front wheeled bike with a smaller rear wheel driven by cranks and a chain. Lawson's bike was not very well received, and he went on to design bikes using levers for power transmission. The Bicyclette was a commercial failure, but he had hit upon a superion design feature."

A.  A unicyclist

This is a great blog, which focuses on all the abandoned bicycles of New York.
