This is a scan from a 1917 motor-bicycle riding guide (2nd page is the one of (more) interest). Seems even back then women, buses & things wanting to commit suicide were hazardous to bikers

got watch for those traction engines! And I must remember not to let the pillions ride on the handle bars so they can't topple over under the headlamp.

Are we supposed to toot the horn just before we overtake? :innocent:

No point. Since I travel in excess of the speed of sound, I'm past before they hear the horn...:whistle:
