Vintage tire patch kits and bicycle pumps
We know, patch kits don’t seem very interesting.
But did you know that Camel once marketed to cyclists, and produced promotional products like tube patch kits? Did you know that bicycle and car tires used to be repaired by inserting rubber bands into the tread like working a crochet needle? How about that bicycle tires, tubes, and repair kits were once almost the exclusive domain of American manufacturers?
O.k. Still not all that exciting, but we try.
