A man and a woman ride side by side down a tree-lined road, the kind of quiet lane that bicycles once shared easily with horses and carriages. Bicycling took off in the 1890s, when the "safety bicycle" with two equal-sized wheels and a chain drive made riding comfortable for ordinary people, and it gave men and women a new measure of independence and mobility. Pictures like this one capture that moment, when the bicycle was becoming a symbol of leisure, freedom and modern life.
