Toronto. .. familiar words to square dancers everywhere, but did you know a special version of a “bicycle” for two in the early days was the dos-a-dos or back-to-back tricycle (photo is c1880).

Member and cycling expert Lorne Shields showed this example photo at the recent ‘ZOOM and Tell Vol. 2‘ held at this month’s online Toronto Meeting of the PHSC. If you need a copy, or have a copy, or want to know more, drop me a line at info@phsc.ca and I will pass your message along.
