A man lies sprawled across the road with his bicycle tipped on its side beside him, a scene of a ride that ended abruptly. Bicycles spread quickly through towns in the United States and Europe in the 1880s and 1890s, and the "safety" design with two wheels of equal size made cycling practical for many more people, including women. Roads of that era were often rough dirt or stone, and falls were common. Images like this one document the everyday hazards that came with a new kind of street traffic.
