My company has a big archive of telecommunication photos from the past.
This one came up today. Singlespeedin' in cowboy boots!:

[SIZE=1]In 1911, the complete telephone man was mobile, mechanized and well-equipped. With his tools around his waist, he carried phones on his back, on his chest and in his bicycle sack. As today, telephone men 96 years ago were safety-minded, which in that era included wearing sleeve guards and trouser clamps.[/SIZE]
