Myquel tandem bicycle. Madrid, Spain, mid-20th century. It requires restoration. A tandem bicycle painted red with the shop's sign on the front (Ciclos Myquel; Palma, 13; Madrid), featuring a rear seat designed specifically for women (its shape allows for wearing a long skirt). In some details, it's reminiscent of Schwinn bicycles from 1970, and the quality of the bicycle is noteworthy (the shop advertised itself in the press at the time as "bicycles fit for kings"). It's also worth mentioning that a similar bicycle is preserved in the collection of the well-known Otero shop.
