Bicycle Cyclist Cyclists Stand
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of elegant French ladies engaged in the exhilarating pastime of cycling during the 1890s. Dressed in the height of fashionable attire for the era, these women exude a sense of freedom and independence as they proudly display their bicycles and confidently assume their positions at the bicycle stands. The fashionable clothing of the time is on full display, with the ladies wearing long, flowing skirts that have been hiked up to allow for easier pedaling. Some wear bloomers or divided skirts beneath their outer garments for added practicality. Blouses with high collars and long sleeves, often adorned with lace or intricate embroidery, complete their outfits. Hats, gloves, and parasols add the finishing touches to their stylish ensembles. The bicycles themselves are a sight to behold, with their large, ornate frames and intricate detailing. The women's bicycles feature high handlebars and large wheels, making them easier to maneuver in their voluminous skirts. The men's bicycles, in contrast, have lower handlebars and smaller wheels, reflecting the different riding styles and preferences of the time. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of fashion, transport, and the emerging spirit of adventure and self-sufficiency among women during the late 19th century. The French ladies in this image embody the spirit of the age, their confident and determined expressions conveying a sense of excitement and joy as they embrace the thrill of the open road on their bicycles.
