Actually, that's not quite true. There were the round blades but I remember seeing those on bikes at the Kissena Park Velodrome in New York. Then again, it was so long ago and I was too young to really appreciate what I was seeing, much less commit it to memory... Cheers, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA)
