Very cool site.
Thanks for posting this.
A friend (she is in her 80's) gave me this ribbon.
Sort of an early "spoke card" memento of the ride that day.

Uh, the ribbon was handed down to her from her grandfather, who worked for Columbia Bicycles.

Socially, too the cycle is without an equal; young men and women are no longer compelled to spend their leisure hours in the towns and cities; the cycle has contributed more than its share to the falling drink bill by placing in the hands of thousands of young men an acceptable means of getting away from the temptations which dog the footsteps of the young man compelled to pass his leisure hours in an atmosphere of depressing sameness.
