W. P. Doull of Kent Street in Charlottetown fixed a lot of bikes for people. They would go to him all the time back then.

Mr. Doull would fix at least 15 bikes a day. It might take him five minutes to fix one bike, and it might cost $3.00 to get a bike fixed.

This is an old ad that appeared in The Guardian on June 1st, 1895. This bicycle was pretty expensive at the time, but The Comet, (that I have in another etext) was $100 dollars. The bicycle that is displayed is $85 dollars.

This picture shows a page from the Holman's Spring and Summer Catalog from 1926. It has a whole lot of prices for bicycle parts and accessories, such as rubber cement, spring seats for bikes, whole bikes, wheels and much more.

The bicycle built for one was built for only one rider. It was faster than all the other bikes made from 1875 to 1900.

This is a clipping from the Guardian about bicycle goods and accessories and where to buy them. This type of clipping was pretty common because bicycling was good exercise.
