The Harry Geer company from St Louis, Missouri specialized in motors and castings for air ships, then diversified into motorcycles in 1902. Only about 150 units of this 4 hp, 140 lbs Blue Bird model advertised at the time with a speed of 5 to 50 mph. Currently exhibited at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa.

Whats funny is it almost looks modern in geometry. the angles are very similar to the hard tail mountain bikes of the late 80’s and early 90s. very neat nonetheless. cant remember if this one was there the last time i was in anamosa… and how could i overlook it
Geez, flying along on this at 50mph would require some serious grip on the handlebar!
