For WW1 or BOER WAR MILITARY BICYCLES. WITH THIS, YOU CAN CONVERT YOUR OWN BICYCLE INTO.

This rack is adjustable, just like the original. Add leather straps to complete it. You can see from the photos below how it fits. My WW1 military replicas are hand-made as close as possible to the original pattern.

They are ready to fit and use. I advise adding a leather strip or lead lining between the clips and the headstock to avoid damage to the paintwork. Use or make square head nut/bolt for period effect (nuts/bolts not supplied). The item will be packed as is (not dismantled).

During WW1, all the major combatants deployed bicycles. Its not possible to know exactly how many military cyclists there were, but its estimated that at least 100,000 British soldiers used bicycles in some capacity and at least 150,000 French and Belgians. A bicycle was an ideal means of transportation as it was comparatively lightweight it could be carried over obstructions and as well as being ridden could be loaded with equipment and pushed. It was particularly well-suited for conveying despatches, guerrilla action, patrols and reconnaissance a motorcycle was faster, but a bicycle was silent.
