Scorchers Progress: The Marble Arch - An Errant City Cyclist Causes Havoc Amongst His Fellow Road-Users (1904) This intriguing photograph captures a chaotic moment in the bustling streets of early 20th century London. The scene at The Marble Arch unfolds as an errant city cyclist, silhouetted against the backdrop of the iconic landmark, causes havoc amongst his fellow road-users. The cyclist, with a determined expression on his face, seems oblivious to the commotion he has caused. In his reckless ride, he has knocked over a man and his dog, sending them sprawling on the ground. The chaos continues as a horse-drawn carriage swerves to avoid the collision, narrowly missing the cyclist and adding to the confusion on the already congested road. London's iconic hansom cabs, the primary mode of transport for the city's residents at the time, are also caught up in the melee. The cyclist, a menace and threat to the safety of others, epitomizes the annoyance and danger that early city cycling posed to pedestrians and other road-users. This historic photograph, taken in 1904, offers a fascinating glimpse into the challenges of urban transport and travel in the early 1900s. The image, part of the rich archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the evolution of cycling culture over the past century. The Scorchers Progress series, of which this print is a part, was a popular comic series in the early 1900s, satirizing the daily life and struggles of Londoners. This photograph, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, continues to resonate with audiences today.
