Lieswyn did one training ride last September with McCormack and his youngest brother, Shawn McCormack, and another guy. I thought maybe Frank was trying to prove something or test me or intimidate me, but in retrospect, that wasn't it. He found his legs in the final stage of the three-day Mercury Sea Otter Classic last weekend in Monterey, Calif., helping drive two major breakaways, but was caught with two laps to go and didn't have any juice left to help get a teammate to the front. I'm starting off from behind this year. Dozens of historic bicycles are on display for three more weeks at the Museum of Our National Heritage in Lexington.
Admission is free.
Rather, bicycle inventions came in fits and starts, sometimes with parallel developments in different countries or even backward steps. Their success depended on marketing, for one, and societal sea changes such as feminism. The glorious Victorian-era posters alone are worth a look. The exhibit will be shown in Springfield next year.
