Two women with bicycle, around 1900

Two women with bicycle, Hoquiam, Washington, ca. 1900

On verso of image: A tea party in the garden of an early Hoquiam home.

Bike is typical of the period - identical to the design of a man's bike but has the low top bar. Also, has a back fender that is covered with a mesh to keep skirts out of the spinning wheel.

From the University of Washington digital collections.
