Ever since I joined the "Bicycles on stamps" society I have been on the lookout for a stamp that they may not yet know about or have missed. There are over 30,000 entries in their online database for all stamps in the world featuring some form of bicycle connection, so it would be highly unlikely there is something out there that is not listed. Stamps that require closer attention are street scenes, especially if the stamps are from a communist country. Nothing declares you are a comrade more than riding a bike whilst working for the Motherland. I found these two and after observation with the magnifier could see each had a bicycle being ridden down the street. I have previously featured an Australian stamp with this situation. I looked up the database and saw they were already known - drat no ticket to the philately hall of fame just yet.
