Just a little bit before my time, Mr.Long, but I suspect
quite a few decades before Mr.Brashear from what I
am able to deduce.

>That is not so far fetched.  Every photo I’ve seen of a Harmony Route interurban, even of the Gunboats, shows a combination car.  A bicycle could easily have been stowed in the baggage compartment.  Also, Harmony cars were two man right to the end so there was no problem with sufficient “person power” to hoist a bike up into the baggage compartment and to lower it back down to the ground. Probably even a small motorcycle could have been accommodated. But I’m assuming that Derrick’s bike is a pedal bike, not a motor bike.
