I am looking for a 1950s or 1960s photo of children double heading on a bicycle for a short program. For all you youngsters on UHH that would be one child sitting on the handlebars while another peddled the bicycle, at least that what we called it. Use of the photo would be much appreciated.

I googled "Kid riding friend on handlebars of bicycles" and there were 3 in the first line of pictures. Don't know if they are what you're looking for. Found no more after about 100 pics.

Not looking for small child in a seat on the handlebars, something like the attached photo only from the 1950s 1960.

I myself was known for riding a bicycle sitting on the handlebar backwards and riding hands free. Did take a few spills,but quite easy once you got the hang of it.

First off, this is not my photo. I did not take it. I found it doing a Google search. I don't know if you will find an actual photo of what you are looking for taken in the 50's doing a Google search... I did not. Maybe someone on the Hog might have one.

I know this is not a photo actually taken in the 50's as per your request, but maybe you can edit it to make it look like it was from the 50's. Make it B&W, sepia, make it look old with a tear or fading, something like that. Change the mans shorts to a solid color, black maybe, as that design is definitely a newer style. Change her top as well to a solid color.

Good luck.

Didn't they have that scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid, with Raindrops keep falling on my head playing?

Thank You for your response, I was hopeful of finding a couple of young boys on a bike. I have searched the internet and been unable to find.
