Dressed in their finest attire, these fashionable men and women exude an air of sophistication and class, making cycling an essential accessory for those seeking to be seen and admired. Hyde Park, with its expansive greenery and picturesque lake, provided the perfect backdrop for these scenic rides.

This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the 19th century's social elite and their love for this new and exciting pastime.
