1940s Combination Bicycle & Water Ski Transport

Necessity is the mother of invention. Vintage image of a young man riding a combination invention between a bicycle and some form of water ski. At first glance I noticed that the front fork of the bike was still attached, minus the wheel, and then it hit me that the driver was so sure of the invention, he was wearing street clothes as opposed to a bathing suit. Creativity at its best. This found photograph came from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
