EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1884, a time when the world was abuzz with excitement over the latest inventions and improvements in bicycles. The focal point of this advert is undoubtedly the Centaur tricycles, which were considered cutting-edge modes of transport during that era. Manufactured by Starley Bros, pioneers in bicycle manufacturing from Coventry, these Centaur tricycles boasted several innovative features. One notable advancement was their patent ball bearings, ensuring a smoother ride for cyclists. Additionally, their crank mechanism provided enhanced power transfer through efficient pedaling. The Victorian-era advertisement showcases two individuals riding tandem on one of these remarkable tricycles. This image not only highlights the practicality and versatility of Centaur tricycles but also reflects an air of sophistication associated with cycling during that period. Transportation options were limited at that time, making these tricycles a symbol of freedom and independence for those who sought to explore new horizons. Whether it be leisurely rides through picturesque countryside or commuting within bustling city streets, Centaur tricycles offered a reliable means of transportation for people from all walks of life. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph print today, we are reminded not only of how far technology has progressed since then but also how our ancestors embraced innovation even in simpler times. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that every invention has its humble beginnings - just like these extraordinary Centaur tricycles from 1884
