Amazing historical cycling pictures

I came across this on a friend's Facebook page:



And I eventually tracked the source (because I just had to) to a photo archive in Denver, Colorado.  According to them, the picture is around 107 years old.

So I searched the rest of the archive for cycling pictures.  Wonderful.  Jaw dropping.  Had to share.

Thanks for sharing.

He's just waiting for them to invent:

• Motion pictures, and
• Samuel L Jackson to play him in one

The bicycle adapted for the railroad was fairly impressive - I wonder what speed he could achieve drafting a locomotive.
