Dragging the trailer behind the bike

Man Tows Airstream Trailer On Bicycle

During a tour of a friend's workshop yesterday I spotted this poster of French
bike racer Alfred Letourneur towing a twenty foot long Airstream Liner at the
Metropolitan Airport in Van Nuys, California in 1947. I was immediately enamored
with the photo, went home and did a little homework and discovered that
LeTourneur was a champion six-day racer in the 1930's, garnering four U.S.
National Championship victories.

LeTourneur broke the world bicycle speed record in 1938 at a velodrome in
Motlhery, France. On May 17, 1941, riding behind a car on the freeway near
Bakersfield, California he reached 108.92 mph on a Schwinn bicycle shattering
his previous record.
