Babies Love Harleys

Pinterest

We get it. Chicks dig Harleys. But that beautiful baby, bare of any helmet and protective pads, does not belong anywhere on a big bicycle or a motorcycle. It doesn’t matter how happy the baby was in this picture, or if she grew up to become a motorcycle daredevil, but the parents had no business placing her on the back of a rare Harley-Davidson bicycle.

Did you know Harley-Davidson also manufactured bicycles for a short period? When the company was studying the market, they figured they could maximize long-term profits, and perhaps also build customer loyalty, by catching their customers early. So, they came up with their very first bicycle in 1917, which was targeted at pre-teen boys. Unfortunately, these bicycles didn’t get a chance to really take off, and the production of Harley-Davidson bicycles ceased only a few years after it began. Hopefully, the tiny toddler sitting one of these rare bikes didn’t fall off and hurt herself.
