Cyclists and a dog share the frame on a country road, a pairing that says as much about leisure as about transport. Bicycles were a major craze in the 1890s, when the "safety" bicycle with its equal-sized wheels made riding comfortable for ordinary people, and women in particular found new freedom on two wheels. Rural roads like this one were often rough and dusty, so riders went out in loose, practical clothing. Pictures of this kind capture the moment when the bicycle moved from novelty to everyday pastime.
