Dear Group, No doubt many on the list are familiar with the British couriers and civil defense bicyclists with their black out lamps during the Blitz of World War II...Does anyone know if we had a counterpart here in the states during WW II? I know we had a corps of Civil Defense folks with helmets, uniforms, etc...but did any of these individuals ride bicycles?
