Bouillon Cycle Cycles Cycling Cyclists Deliver Deliveries Employ Express Extract Handy Larger Meat Smaller Tricycle Cibils Delivery
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases the innovative delivery system of the past as cyclists make their way through a bustling street, each carrying a wooden box filled with a precious and valuable commodity - meat extract. For smaller deliveries, a single bicycle with a handy box attached to the rear is sufficient, while larger quantities require the use of a tricycle van. The cyclists, dressed in their work attire, appear focused and determined as they navigate the crowded streets, skillfully maneuvering their vehicles amidst the hustle and bustle of the era. The use of bicycles and tricycles for transportation was a common sight during this time, and the employment of cyclists for delivering goods was an efficient and cost-effective solution for businesses. In this instance, the Bouillon Cibils company, a historical purveyor of meat extract, relied on these agile and hardworking individuals to ensure timely and express delivery of their product. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of transportation and the ingenuity of those who made deliveries possible in a world before modern logistics and technology. The vintage bicycles and tricycles, with their large wheels and sturdy frames, are a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The wooden boxes, carefully secured to the vehicles, protect the valuable meat extract as it makes its journey from the company to its destination. This photograph is a fascinating reminder of the past, showcasing the determination, resilience, and resourcefulness of the cyclists who played a crucial role in the delivery process during the early 1900s.
