"Rediscovering the Joy of Riding Bicycle: A Journey through Time" Step back in time and embark on a nostalgic journey with these captivating prints from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Star Bicycle, introduced in 1882, takes center stage as an iconic symbol of innovation and freedom. Its sleek design and sturdy frame revolutionized transportation, empowering individuals to explore new horizons. Accompanying this visual delight is the Velocipede Song and Galop print from 1869, capturing the spirit of exhilaration that accompanied riding these marvelous contraptions. Imagine the wind rushing through your hair as you pedal furiously down a dusty road, leaving behind a trail of excitement. The New York and Coney Island Cycle March print transports us to bustling city streets filled with cyclists eager to showcase their skills. This vibrant scene encapsulates the growing popularity of cycling as a recreational activity during this era. For those seeking thrills, The Scorcher print from 1897 showcases daredevils pushing their limits on two wheels. With speed being their ultimate goal, they zoomed past startled pedestrians while embodying an undeniable sense of adventure. The Winthrop Cycle Club print captures camaraderie among fellow enthusiasts who formed tight-knit communities centered around their shared passion for cycling. These clubs provided opportunities for socializing, competing in races, or simply enjoying leisurely rides together. Intriguingly different is A Bicycle Wedding lithograph from 1909 which depicts love blossoming amidst bicycles adorned with flowers—a charming reminder that even romance found its place within this revolutionary mode of transport. Photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston's self-portrait adds another layer to our understanding of cycling history by challenging traditional gender roles; her full-length portrayal dressed as a man reflects both her audacity and determination to break societal norms. Finally, we encounter a striking image published in The Strand Magazine in 1897—an empowered 19th-century female cyclist.
