> Maybe we mean the first plastic road bike but the very site that discusses
\r?\n> this bike also discusses the Bowden Spacelander from the early 60s. This
\r?\n> was an all plastic (fiberglass) bike that is very desireable among

\r?\n> Also there was another plastic bicycle from Europe, I believe
\r?\n> Sweden. Even the wheels were plastic and it was sort of a commuter
\r?\n> bicycle. Available in all colors so long as it was tan. I believe
\r?\n> there were others that I cannot think of right now so this is not
\r?\n> really the first plastic bicycle. Ray Homiski Elizabeth, NJ
