To me this has all the hallmarks of a young lad getting his first new bike, in the back yard of their house, with mum looking proudly on!
I'd love to know more about the bike. The image looks to be early 1900s and it has pneumatic tyres, fixed wheel with no brakes, and a very heavy weight chain. Also, drop bars, nice pedals and toe-clips, a bell, and what looks like a mount for a front light. The badge on the head tube is indistinct, but maybe someone recognises it?
There's a very large looking wheel in the covered area to the left (garage?) which is presumably on a cart or carriage of some type.
Image measures ca 20cm x 15cm. No photographer or other identifying marks.
Last weekend I received this lovely bicycle as an early Mother's Day gift. It's been years since I've ridden a bike and since I'm a little behind on the SP Project, I decided to go up the street and zip about on it.*
True or false:
It's like riding a bicycle. You never forget. Sort of true. Balancing and pedaling came back immediately, but the hopping on and off and braking will take more time to master to ensure I don't endanger anyone or look like a complete fool.
According to a review, you can wear a dress when riding this bike. True, especially with the low step-thru frame. However a black skirt requires some 'hitching up' but is still quite comfortable and you retain your modesty at all times! :D
Melburnians only wear black in winter. Apparently this is still true. It's a long held view but in this case, I wore black to contrast with the surroundings.
It's ridiculously complicated to take a SP like this. True! There were 3 shots where I was actually in frame. They're all out of focus but at least you're unable to see the look of terror on my face! :D
I took this shot alongside a private residence at the end of my street. As I live in an older suburb of Melbourne, it's reasonably common to see old corner shops like this, usually attached to a smaller house, that have been renovated to become one single home. Notice the different brickwork where a doorway must have once stood.
The old bluestone edging along the road is a feature that has been retained by the local council. Many of the old laneways are still paved with their original cobbled bluestone. With residential development going crazy, it's nice to see these pieces of history retained.
* Safety first. I have a helmet but it wasn't featured here as I wasn't riding on the road and also, it's not very stylish.

The 100 Bicycles project: 100 different bicycles photographed in detail. This is bicycle number 12.
To learn more about this project see the 100bicycles group.
Taken at the Cincinnati Art Museum in Eden Park in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The museum had an exhibit called "Cycle Thru! The Art of the Bike" that uses the bicycle to explore ineteresections of history, popular culture, design and modern and contempary art. They featured some 20 bikes from The Bicycle Museum of America in New Bremen, Ohio. Owning and working on 4 bicycles and being a relatively serious rider, you can bet I was in heaven.
The double frame on this on was particuarly interesting to me.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. Itโs really appreciated. ๐
I've been so sick with these germs for way too long- Dr says it's bronchitis and a sinus infection. The ER run was a bad reaction to an antibiotic that was practically toxic to me, that I never knew I would react to.
Even so, of COURSE I painted last week! I urged family onward in the art quest! So these are my offerings- Bicycle 1 is the first one I did- more careful, albeit paler. I thought I liked it. Until I did Bicycle 2- which was done because I had leftover paints, and in my book, well, that is just wasteful, so I did a speed painting- much more vibrant to me, much more essence of bicycle!
(I hope to post a family collage soon of this work)
