Biking around Grant's Tomb

I have lots of postcards of Grant's Tomb, but none of them feature bicycles, much less a tandem!

The card was printed sometime between 1905 and 1908.  Here's the back.

  1. Postcards that include tandem bikes....now that would make a fine collection! Oh, and has anyone ever figured out who's buried in that darned tomb?

  6. Hugh Grant's film career is buried there, Roundup... Looks like they weren't sure which of the preliminary tomb designs was the best, so they just stuck a bunch of different ones on top of each other a la wedding cake!
