EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and determination of a cyclist participating in a race at St John's Cycling Club in Worcester during the late Victorian era of 1892. The cyclist, dressed in short pants and a cap, appears worried as he leans over his bicycle, adjusting the chain or checking the tire pressure before the next lap. The lush green grass and open sky in the background add to the sense of tranquility and freedom that comes with the sport of cycling. Cycling was a popular pastime and competitive sport during the late 1800s, and St John's Cycling Club in Worcester was one of many clubs that sprung up across the country to cater to the growing number of cycling enthusiasts. The club's members would gather regularly to participate in races and events, pushing themselves to their physical limits and testing their skills against one another. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of competitive cycling during the late 1890s. The cyclist's worried expression, combined with the sense of anticipation and excitement in the air, makes for a compelling image that continues to captivate viewers today. The photograph is part of The John Barrett Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical sports photography or social history.
