Bike Couriers Delivered News of Pearl Harbor in 1941
From Cyclelicio.us:
Bike couriers delivered the news of the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor 70 years ago today.
The caption for this photo says these bike messengers scrambled from the White House after learning of the attack on Pearl Harbor the evening of December 7, 1941, presumably to deliver the facts to the news outlets of the day.

That must have been one hell of a message to deliver.
