I only have this one taken in Riga, Latvia. A bit of a challenge to ride!


Harks back to an older time, but at least it's got three wheels

It had trouble pedaling. Category...odd stuff pulled from a bottom bracket. In this case using a magnet.

Let me start with "Uncle Willy" - not my photo of course, and probably not his bike either (studio's?) - mother's uncle. Probably a holiday photo, and the crest suggests the studio had some claim to royal patronage - oh, I see by Google that the firm had a "Warrant of Appointment from the Lord Chamberlain with Authority to Use the Royal Arms", announced in the London Gazette for January 8, 1892. A quick search found one other Lettsome portrait using the same studio furnishings (but no bike and undated).

Can anyone suggest a date for the photo? William was born in 1871 and died in 1914, so I have it pinned in the range of say 1892 (because of the warrant) to 1914. I think these are pneumatic tires (invented in 1889?). The brake might offer a further narrowing of dates, but I'm not about to pursue it. And I know nothing about dress styles, but it seems to me he's not wearing a "wing" collar.

If you are interested in pics of the bikes of those times, take a look at the large selection at https://onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk/1890s-bicycles/?tax=tour&tid=74

I don't have too many with prominent bicycles, but here are a few, with a couple of trikes thrown in.

Some great bicycle “sculpture “ and captures. There is something heartwarming when viewing some of these old bikes in the settings that you caught them in.

Proof that bicycle shorts weren’t made for everyone.
