EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1897, showcases the unwavering determination and athletic prowess of S.B. McGregor and G.A. Nelson as they set the One Hour Record for Tandem Bicycling. The pair, dressed in period attire and donning protective helmets, pedal in perfect synchronization, their focus unbroken as they cover an impressive distance of 31 miles 610 yards in just 60 minutes. The tandem bicycle, a popular mode of transportation and recreation during the late 19th century, required exceptional teamwork and coordination from its riders. McGregor, the captain, steered the front wheel while Nelson, the stoker, provided the power from the rear. Their success in breaking the One Hour Record for all types of cycles solidified their place in the annals of cycling history. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of competition and the relentless pursuit of athletic achievement that characterized the late Victorian era. The pair's unwavering focus and commitment to their sport serve as an inspiration to cyclists and athletes alike, demonstrating that with dedication and teamwork, even the most daunting challenges can be overcome. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of cycling history and the remarkable achievements of its early pioneers. With its rich detail and historical significance, this photograph is a must-have for any collection focused on the history of cycling or the cultural and social history of the late 19th century.
