Announcing a day of bicycle and tricycle racing at the Parc Saint-Maur, this 1885 poster shows cycling becoming a spectator sport in France. The park lies on the Marne southeast of Paris, and its listing of both bicycles and tricycles reflects how varied the machines of the period still were. In the mid-1880s, the safety bicycle, with its two wheels of equal size, was just emerging and would soon replace the tall high-wheeled models that had dominated early racing.
