“When shoes and clothes and food, when hope is gone we’ll all have the rifle.”
― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
Vintage WWII bicycle.
I have worked a lot over the years, worked on ways to carry things on my bicycle. I have never, however, worked on how to carry a carbine on my handlebar.

“This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine…”
Nice quote. I can’t imagine riding around on rough roads with a loaded rifle on my bicycle. I have enough trouble with groceries.
