Charles Benoit et Abel Bardin 1922

Once the largest motorcycle manufacturer in France Motobécane was crucial to Gallic all two-wheeled transport for over half a century. Literally “motorized” “bike” its logo is quite striking with the capital “M” and facing Mercurial or Hermes heads. I saw this on a locked up bicycle today and had to capture as part of my ongoing collection of M’s (my wife’s name begins in this strong symmetrical letter).

  1. Hi Geordie. We all have our photographic obsessions obviously…Mine is gates… I’ve been photographing gates everywhere I’ve been for over 30 years, not sure what to do with them but maybe an self-published book via one of the Internet book-creation apps. Reckon your collected images of “Ms” would likewise make a fascinating book, and potentially a great gift for your missus. Cheers, Les in NZ
