The Times Boy and His Bicycle: Why Does He Look So Pissed?

His bike looks sweet. Why does he look so pissed?

Washington, D.C., 1921. "Times boy and bicycle." Winner of a Mead Ranger bike by virtue of selling 30 newspaper subscriptions. The Ranger contest was a promotion of various papers from about 1917 to 1923. National Photo Co. Collection.

  1. The reason he’s madis the size of the bike he won. Compare the length of his legs to the distance between the top tube and the pedals. He wouldn’t be able to ride that bike until high school! Poor kid.

  2. HI I AM IN AGREEMENT WITH THE OTHER PEOPLE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO. TOO MUCH DECO ON THAT BIKE FOR SURE HE COULD PROBABLY HANDLE IT WITH SOME HELP.
