I admit: Yesterday's post wasn't the most cheerful I've written. But if I'm going to say anything about the history of the bicycle industry, I have to be honest: There have been scoundrels in it--though, some might say, fewer than in some other industries.
Now I'll give you a more cheerful picture--literally--from cycling's past.
These folks proudly pedaled along Western Boulevard, a road that extended from Grand Circle (now known as Columbus Circle) to Riverside Drive. Later, the road would become part of Broadway, the great north-south thoroughfare that cuts, curves, zigs, zags, ascends and descends and even loops over 55 km (about 33 miles) from Battery Park at the lower tip of Manhattan to Sleepy Hollow in Westchester County.
You really have to admire those riders' style. I do, anyway!
