5 bicycles

   Latvia has a great bicycle history - Leutner, Erenpreiss,O.Zutis Workshop are just few of many Latvian bicycle manufacturers in period from 1918 to 1940 .When it first gained its independence local bicycle producers could fully satisfy the necessary demand for bicycles nearly no bicycle was imported by the mid-30s.
   Though only one of those marks is revived today, there are some newcomers so production and assembly of bicycle continues also nowadays.
   Below are just 5 examples of Latvian bicycle companies. 
The descriptions is minimal but links to sites are given for more information:

BRUM BRUM

This balance bike for children has at least 3 design awards and 
possibly only one disadvantage - it is for children(I wouldn`t mind to have a big one for me).The height is adjustable for children of different age and packaging of the bike can be used as a garage - very stylish.
