a bloke struggling up a hill, probably could have faced him downwards but I live in Sheffield where cycling is always uphill.
Dr. August Florin and Miss Alexandra Sandell on a tricycle at the Furamo manor (close to Helsinki) on August 2, 1888. Dr. Florin seems to have been a keen cyclist, as he was an honorary member of the Helsingfors (Helsinki) Velocipedklubb, which had been founded the year before.

"In 1789, two French inventors developed a three-wheeled vehicle, powered by pedals; They called it the tricycle.
In 1818, British inventor Denis Johnson patented his approach to designing tricycles. In 1876, James Starley developed the Coventry Lever Tricycle, which used two small wheels on the right side and a large drive wheel on the left side; power was supplied by hand levers. In 1877, Starley developed a new vehicle he called the Coventry Rotary, which was "one of the first rotary chain drive tricycles." Starley's inventions started a tricycling craze in Britain; by 1879, there were "twenty types of tricycles and multi-wheel cycles ... produced in Coventry, England, and by 1884, there were over 120 different models produced by 20 manufacturers." The first front steering tricycle was manufactured in 1881 by The Leicester Safety Tricycle Company of Leicester, England, which was brought to the market in 1882 costing £18. They also developed a folding tricycle at the same time.
Tricycles were used by riders who did not feel comfortable on the high wheelers, such as women who wore long, flowing dresses."

Well, what a fabulous few days I have had in Pembrokeshire, been thoroughly spoilt. I have a ginormous amount of images to go through but I thought I would start with this sunset, something a little different from Whitesands
I have soooo much catching up to do so please bear with me :-)
We were on a bicycle tour from Islamorada to Key West by Discovery Bicycle. This shadow of the bicycles on top of the van was created when we were crossing a bridge.
