EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1895, we are transported back to the bustling streets of London. The image captures a cyclist navigating through the chaotic traffic, riding a machine of the Rover safety type. As if frozen in time, a horse bus (omnibus) can be seen overtaking him, highlighting the stark contrast between traditional and modern modes of transport. Amidst this lively scene, an observant police constable stands by, ensuring order is maintained on the busy road. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the evolving landscape of transportation during that era. Illustrated by Stephen T Dadd for Cycling Badmington Library in London, this historic piece showcases not only his artistic talent but also serves as a testament to cycling's growing popularity at the time. The illustration beautifully captures both movement and stillness simultaneously - a true work of art. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into public life over a century ago when bicycles were becoming more prevalent as means of transportation. It reminds us how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while also reflecting on our enduring love affair with two-wheeled travel
