A small boy sits astride a bicycle that is clearly too big for him, balanced on a city sidewalk where the curb and the street traffic are just out of frame. Bicycles were a common sight in American cities in the early twentieth century, when the safety bicycle had replaced the high-wheeled models of the 1880s and turned cycling into everyday transportation and recreation for children as well as adults. Pictures like this one capture a moment of learning and independence, and they show how urban streets were shared by pedestrians, riders and horse-drawn wagons long before the car dominated them.
