Note there are bells on the handle bars, so the bugle remains a mystery. It was common practice in the early days of cycling for the Club Captain to have a bugler to signal his intentions to the rest of the riders. http://musicbicycles.blo...ng-club-bugle-calls.html http://www.roadswerenotbuiltforcars.com/bugle/
