As the sign says, it is a rescued 1930 Elgin bicycle. The "late model" truck it rides in is aging gracefully as well. It is interesting to read the various stickers and bumper art in the photos.

Love this bike. I wonder if the grill work around the rear carrier rack is to prevent kids from accidentally sticking their feet into the rear wheel.
The grille work around the front half of the rear wheel is a "dress guard." It was often included on adult womens' bikes in order to keep their mostly long dresses from getting caught in the rear wheel. For more on this, go to http://lovelybike.blogspot.com/search?q=dress+guard
