' War on 2 Wheels'
Exhibition |
From February 5th to March 20th, 2005, several
Belgian military bicycle enthusiasts worked together to create a 20th
century military bicycle exhibition in Nieuwpoort, Belgium. The expo was named
'Oorlog op 2 Wielen' (Flemish for ' War on 2 Wheels') and featured roughly 20
bicycles from 1905 to 1995. Te oldest bike on display was a French Capitaine
Gerard Folding Bicycle from the Great War and the youngest a contemporary 1995
Belgian Army bike....
Bicycles came from the collections of Philip Moreau,
Cris Ryckewaert, Jean Lummerzheim, Gustaaf Desmet, Eric Baecke, Eric Delanghe
and from my own collection.... |
