In the 1950's a whole lot of #bicycle dreaming was going on.
Every youngster has "wheels in his head" at Christmas time. Tiny tykes dream of trikes. Teeners? They dream of biking gaily off to school―wheeling off to healthful fun and frolic.
There it stands―his dream come true. What a sturdy beauty.

"To men, the bicycle in the beginning was merely a new toy, another machine added to the long list of devices they knew in their work and play. To women, it was a steed upon which they rode into a new world," regaled Munsey’s Magazine in 1896.
Even today, the #bicycle is #freedom.

The gift of a bicycle is a gift of promise, of happiness, of health and wellness.
It is a time-honored treasure as special to children today as it was for kids who now are great-grandparents.
Think.
Aren't memories of a #bicycle some of the best in your entire life?
Best memories that never go away.

Health studies show #cycling can be good for fat loss and to build a trim physique.
This turkey has taken that to heart.
It will be more likely to be invited to a Thanksgiving dinner as an honored guest, rather than the main course of the meal.
Biking can really save lives - literally, in this case.

It seems it may refer to a small pistol, also called a Velo-Dog revolver (Postman Pistol), made to protect cyclists, especially women, against rabid dogs and wild animals.
The catalog could indicate bike horns were sold to serve a similar Velo-Dog purpose.
