Nice one, Rod! I have one with Arabic texts, which I am not able to read and a bit curious because this Olympic games were controversial with the 'Munich massacre'. And the bicycles on this stamp have structural problem - missing seat tubes, and oddly short handlebar stems.. Algeria 1972 / Olympic games in Munich  |

I knew it, but still I am amazed by the thorough knowledge of forum members! Thank you everyone. Eli - great to see my isolated stamp is with the set, and the postmark words. Thanks for the info of the tiny stamp as well. bicyclestamps - "progressive color proof" Ah, I can see the final 2 colours are missing on the version of mine. How it comes to me.. I don't remember! Rod - I am not particularly into Umm Al Qiwain stamps. Would you like to have this fellow, joining your collection? I can post it if you like. And the following is a response to the Australian stamp posted by bicyclestamps (in the previous page). Croatia 2015 / Day of the number 112  |

The Winter Solstice is coming closer, can't wait for the day time is getting longer. In this dark and shallowed light season, drivers have to be careful watching the road - this stamp is depicting the importance of having light in the dark European winter. Hungary 18 August 1973 / Lights on the bike / design: S. Légrády  p.s. I have just checked how north Hungary is - well, where I am in London is much northern than Budapest. Sunset here is 15:53 today!  |

Good morning, Rod - good! I will post it shortly. No return needed - you have already posted me telegraph insulators cinderella from Sarajevo! This is my turn. Very invisible, chic and nice one, bicyclestamps! I have never seen like that.. Here are more 'safety on bicycle'. First one is obvious, hand-signal (and head-lamp). The second one is the latest issue in the UK, electric-powered scooters are making fuss on the road, pavement, cycle lanes and even on railway platforms - nowhere they are welcomed. DDR 28 March 1966 / Road Safety / design: M. Gottschall & H. Detlefsen   |
