The early 20th century was a time of greatness and prosperity for New
York's Capital Region. Economically powerful cities like Albany and
Schenectady were home to emergent companies that employed a growing
population. This influx gave way to an abundance
of stores and retail establishments that catered to newly settled
residents. With the local economy experiencing unprecedented growth,
people had discretionary income to be used for leisure activities, such
as going to Proctor's Theater or enjoying the sport
of motorcycling. Capital Region Motorcycling reveals the many
activities that were enjoyed by those who wished to participate or
watch. Photographs of road tours, polo matches, hill climbs, field
meets, scrambles, and short-track and ice racing are featured
alongside stories of the Electric City Riders and Spitzies Roamers
motorcycle clubs.
