After we stumbled on this image of an crazy beautiful bike with square wheels, we followed links to a Classic Bikes Auction being held by Copake Auction. The online catalogue is surprisingly compelling, with all sorts of iterations on 2 and 3-wheeled human-powered vehicles, some like fanciful sculptures. (We can imagine having the square-wheeled bike in our space just to look at…)

Dig this clever ice bicycle, with its skis and spokes to gain traction in the snow…
