I picked up this Hercules (made in Birmingham, England) in Stellenbosch, South Africa. It has a top-tube shifter and an undated Sturmey-Archer rear hub. This apparrently means that it was manufactured in 1940/41.

Did you know bicycles can actually be ridden in street clothes? Reading the big cycling magazines and web sites would make you think otherwise, so I decided to post a "Bicycle Picture Of The Day" using photos from our Vintage Bicycle Picture Database to remind us all that bikes are flexible, versatile, unique, personal and practical. * * * The comments with each photo are the comments of the person who submitted the photo. * * * All photos are (c)2024 Menotomy Vintage Bicycles.
