Charming outdoor tintype mounted in an ornate CDV-style card, featuring a group of three early bicyclists—two women and one man—posing proudly with their bicycles on a grassy lakeside path. The women wear bloomers and high-button boots beneath long skirts, paired with fashionable straw hats and blouses typical of 1890s women’s cycling attire. The man sports a suit with a bowtie and a jaunty boater hat, equally proud of his “safety” bicycle.

This image perfectly captures the spirit of the late 19th-century cycling craze and the cultural shift it brought, particularly for women’s mobility and fashion. Outdoor tintypes in this format are uncommon, especially depicting leisure activities and progressive social dynamics like co-ed recreation.
