 | | Since Howie Cohen's passing, no items are for sale. | | In 1888, Dr. John Boyd Dunlop, a veterinarian of Belfast Northern Ireland, and who today’s Dunlop Tire Company is named for, invented the first successful inflatable pneumatic tire for his son’s bicycle. That invention not only made the bicycle a more practical invention, but changed the course of transportation the world over. Picture of Dunlop riding a bicycle & above text gleaned from http://www.sportsantiques.com/new_page_15.htm, Carlton Hendrick`s Sports Antique web site (browsing this site is worthwhile for persons interested in antique sports memorabilia). |
