Two riders pedal side by side down a rutted dirt track, their wheels kicking up a faint trail of dust. Drawn in pen, the scene leans on crisp, confident linework to suggest the bumpy surface and the easy rhythm of a ride in no particular hurry. Bicycles took off as a popular pastime in the 1890s, when the safety bicycle with its chain drive and equal-size wheels made long rides on country roads practical for ordinary people, not just athletes. Images like this one captured that moment, when cycling offered a new sense of independence and freedom of movement, especially for women who found the bicycle a welcome escape from the constraints of the day.
