Although it's a bit hard to see, as I was shooting in low light, the only thing moving fast enough to have motion blur in the photo is, of course,the bike
Early evidence of the American industrial invasion: Goodrich and - that is a Domino's Pizza sign on the horse waggon, isn't it?  :D

Today's National Library of Ireland flickr photo is rather splendid.


On a bicycle made for three by National Library of Ireland on The Commons, on Flickr

Splendid photo, indeed, but two details struck me:

2) Judging by the huge chainring, the machine was probably designed to ride at incredible speed!
