EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases an extraordinary cycling machine known as The Decemptuple. Built in America during this era of technological innovation, this unique bicycle boasted an impressive ten seats, each designed to accommodate a rider. The ten intrepid individuals depicted in this image, who had the privilege of being its first occupants, were identified as H. Batchelor, W. Day, J. Warburton, C. Chapple, A. Chapple, H. Allen, L. Edwards, H. Hutchings, F.A. Pettis, and W. Berberg. The Decemptuple, also referred to as the Oriten, was a remarkable feat of engineering that challenged the boundaries of conventional transportation. The bicycle was not designed for commercial use but rather for the thrill and excitement of group cycling. The riders, seated in two rows of five, would pedal in unison, creating a harmonious and synchronized motion. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the spirit of camaraderie and adventure that defined the late 19th century. The Decemptuple was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its time. Its design represented the fascination with the potential of human-powered transportation and the desire to push the limits of what was possible. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of cycling and the enduring appeal of the simple yet powerful bicycle.
