Versatile bicycle

Up to the early 1950s, this one was used by a knife grinder. He would take the train from Luton to London and then cycle back through the villages sharpening knives and scissors. He operated the grinding wheel by pedalling (the bicycle being on the stand). Luton Transport Museum, Stockwood Park; Leica M8, Voigtlaender NC 35/1.4.
