Deep roots in bike-riding

(Crossposted to [personal profile] darkemeralds)

I thought the community might enjoy this photo, circa 1895 (maybe?), of my great-grandmother Gertrude Cone and her elegant ladies' bicycle at the side of the Willamette River in Portland.

I love the hat! And the skirt guard that you can just make out on the rear wheel. I bet she made that herself.
