Bianchi, Bersagliere bicycle, 1930\/40, Italy<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

This bicycle was built by Bianchi with the \u201cBrevetto Regio Speciale<\/strong>\u201d (Royal Special patent) for the Bersaglieri<\/em> Italian military corp.<\/b><\/p>\n

In particular, this model was fitted with pneumatic<\/strong> tires, an unmistakable clue that this bicycle was used by an official. Some sources report that every 100 bikes<\/strong> with rigid rubber tires, one was fitted with pneumatic ones for the officials.<\/p>\n

Bianchi brags a vast experience on military supplies,<\/strong> starting from the early 1900s.<\/p>\n

Bianchis were the first bicycles\u00a0 to serve the rapid response units of the Royal Italian Army<\/strong>. Since the beginning of the 20th century Bianchi was a big industry that supplied the army with vehicles, trucks (armored ones too), ammunition and general artillery.<\/p>\n
