Holland Images, multiple views
This 4-7/8″ x 6-5/8″ card was mailed probably in 2014–the postmark is there, but not legible. Stamp is OK. Grade: 1
-
Santa Cruz, Tipico carreton (Bolivia)
Choosing our words carefully here: as we sometimes say (is this an oxymoron?), we are rarely at a loss for words but this card leaves us so. While it may not encourage us to visit Santa Cruz, we appreciate that they were looking for distinctive postcard subjects. Unused, aging card. Grade: 2
-
Siem Reap, Series 21 (set of 10) (Cambodia)
The scan shows four of ten unused cards in this set, all enclosed in a photographic cardboard cover that could actually be three more cards by itself. The theme is definitely people on transport. Grade: 1
-
Phnom Penh, Tricycle with Happy Children (Cambodia)
Unused card, English caption. OK, we’re stretching the definition of “bicycle” a little bit. Forgive us … but worth it. Grade: 1
-

Virginia and Florida Hotels (Mongkok, Hong Kong)
From a series of unused cards that don’t have captions. Because we live here in Hong Kong, we have filled in some of the gaps to let you know where the pictures were taken. These hotels are in the red light district. Look closely and you’ll find the bicycle. Grade: 1
-
Rickshaws (Hong Kong)
From a series of unused cards that don’t have captions. Because we live here in Hong Kong, we have filled in some of the gaps to let you know where the pictures were taken. The local Government stopped issuing rickshaw licenses some years ago, and allowed the existing (old man) holders to serve out their time. So where did the rickshaws go? These two were parked out near the City Hall Carpark for years, for sale. But who could buy them? Almost no flats are big enough to put one. And if you’re thinking “these are not bicycles,” look closely at the upper left. Grade: 1
-
Sarajevo (Bosnia), multiple views

In 2015, as part of “Discover Thailand”, they had the Thailand Bike Fest, and Thailand Post issued Prepaid Postcards with colourful maximum-card-style matching (printed) postage. Otherwise unused, this card has a large cancellation from a later year (2023). Something for everyone: QR Code, Bar Code, website instructions … everything but a precise identification of the location. Grade: 1.
-
Kuala Lumpur, a Malay Mosque (Malaya)
Mosques should be for all Muslims. The A.S.M.K. & Co. card C-21113 was mailed in 1964, with two different Malaya stamps and clear postmark. The real name of the mosque, by the way, is Masjid Jamek and it used to pinpoint the centre of the city. Grade: 1
