Mystery Tandem Bike Sparks Photo Conversations

I love hearing the stories that surface when our clients scan and share their photos. This one involves a mystery tandem bike from the 1960s!

Sue had been scanning her family photos and uploading them to her Forever account. Along the way, she realized she was far more excited about the project than her family seemed to be—at least at first.

During a family gathering, she took the opportunity to ask questions about some of the photos she had uncovered, including one of her husband and his siblings.

They were riding a tandem bike—but Sue knew the family never owned one. Curious, she asked where the bike came from. That’s when her sister-in-law Deb immediately piped up with the full story. The photo held special meaning for Deb, who has a passion for bicycling.

Deb was thrilled and asked Sue to send her copies of the photos. Instead, Sue sent her a link to her Forever account and encouraged her to explore: “You might find all sorts of goodies if you take a look around.”

This moment is a perfect example of how one photo can spark curiosity and bring families together to share memories. Sue is hoping Deb will get even more involved by helping fill in the stories behind other photos in the collection.

Sue is deeply committed to her photo-saving mission, especially when it comes to documenting the stories behind the pictures. As she puts it, “I do believe someone in the future will be thrilled to find all of the history.”

LIFE’S DEMANDS

Between summer yardwork and a dog who’s obsessed with playing fetch using the Chuck-It ball, Sue doesn’t get to work on her photos every day—but she keeps making steady progress.

Her advice to others? Don’t worry if you start out a little scattered. Sue admits that she dove into the project haphazardly at first, driven by a sense of urgency and excitement to share everything immediately.

But once she realized her family wasn’t as enthusiastic, she took a step back to reflect on what she truly wanted to accomplish—and why. Now, Sue follows a system that works well for her, and she sees progress every week.

“I am so happy I found you and Forever,” she says. “You’ve been such a great resource, and I really appreciate the monthly Zoom calls. I learn something every time. It’s also nice to see other people sharing their photo journey!”
