Bike shown in photo of signing ceremony

The Oregon Bicycle Bill was signed on the seat of a chrome Schwinn Paramount belonging to Carroll Quimby of Salem. He was a founding member of the Salem Bicycle Club (established 1969) and later served as national president of the League of American Bicyclists (then called the League of American Wheelmen). Unfortunately, this historic bike was destroyed in 1991 during a fire at Scott's Cycle in Salem. Mtklimber (talk) 18:23, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great info. I also heard that McCall planned to use his own bike, but it was stolen off the bike rack in front of the Capitol! (I think the same racks are still there!) Do you know if this story has been written up anywhere, such as in the SBC newsletter or better yet in a newspaper or book? We could add some of the info to the article if we had a reliable source.
