1900~ Whip Sale - bicycle |
Modern ladies bicycle, apparently with thumb-actuated bell. The crossbar of a roadster bike is converted here to a low swoop ending below the handlebars. Is the white vertical piece a lock, or some other contraption? Definitely pneumatic tires, with a valve stem at the bottom of the rear wheel. "The ladies' version of the roadster's design was very much in place by the 1890s." - Wikipedia |
