Bicycle Safety Light, 1965-1975
01
Artifact Overview
After a hiatus of almost three-quarters of a century, bicycling experienced a revival among American adults during the 1970s -- especially with the introduction of ten-speed bikes. This led to a plethora of specialized accessories and accoutrements, like this bicycle lamp that tied to a rider's leg for added safety at night.
