Rydjor Bike Shop, Austin, MN – USA
Rydjor Bike Shop opened its doors in July 1973 at 101 11th Street Northeast, Austin (the original Concrete Units office.) Dan Ulwelling and Pat Geraghty formed a partnership to capitalize on the "bicycle boom" of the early 1970s. A total store remodel was completed and the single store business eclipsed that of both stores. Out of more than 6000 bicycle dealers in the country, Rydjor was selected as one of the top 100 dealers in 1999.
Dan Ulwelling (1952-2006) was the sole operator of Rydjor Bike Shop since 1992. Dan's influence and taste can still be seen in the shop. He was an avid collector of classic, antique, and unique bikes. He is responsible for assembling Rydjor's collection of 84 bikes that hang from walls and ceilings in shop. Dan's knowledge of vintage bikes was amazing. All 84 are on display at the shop along with many antique jerseys, paintings, advertisements, and memorabilia.

Henry Ford said of his museum: “I am collecting the history of our people as written into things their hands made and used.... When we are through, we shall have reproduced American life as lived, and that, I think, is the best way of preserving at least a part of our history and tradition.”

Bicycle Raillway, Smithville – NJ, USA
In 1891, four years after H.B.Smith´s death, Arthur E. Hotchins approached Smith Company officials to discuss plans for the production of his latest invention, an elevated bicycle railroad. A finished prototype served as a test model for bicycle railroads throughout the United States.
The Smith Company agreed to invest in this invention. The company´s mechanics completed the prototypes of the bicycle-like conveyance by the end of 1891 and tested these pedal-powered vehicles on a 200-foot section of track erected at the factory.
Smithville presented an ideal setting to demonstrate the railway. The most direct route between Mt. Holly and Smithvile lay along the creek´s level floodplain, making it possible to built the bicycle railroad on undevelopment land.
During good bussines times, the H.B. Smith Machine Company employed men from Mt. Holly. They walked the two miles to Smithville or took the train, but the station location was not convenient to most of the workers´ houses. This made the construction of the bicycle railway between the towns a practical proposal.
The pictures were showed for 27th International Cycling History Conference, Nort Haven, USA, 2016.
