Two wheels are better than none

Today's word is bicycle/transportation so I decided to show off this bicycle we saw at Gasoline Alley in Calgary
It is a 1949 Endor Pixie Motorized Bicycle Manufactured by Godscroft Industries in Montreal It was built on a Cadillac frame with an Endor Pixie Model 38 motor. It has a two speed gearshift on the left handle bar and a twist grip throttle on the right. It has a cruising speed of 26mph and it sold for $96
