The Cycling Gentleman

The Cycling Gentleman will be on hiatus until the new year. Whatever holiday you celebrate, and wherever it takes you, safe travels and best wishes!

Spotted in Feuille’s Flickr photostream.

Seems like it’s about time for another item of historical interest, doesn’t it? I thought I remembered this making the rounds of a few bicycle blogs a couple of months back, but now I can’t seem to find any of them. The title refers to trick riding, but I think it could just as easily apply to attire. Click through to see more images from the book.

Another photo from last weekend’s local holiday parade. Not exactly everyday cycling attire (or cycle), but pretty snappy. The sleeve garter is a nice touch.

My neighborhood held its annual holiday parade today, and I captured this fellow riding with a larger group of cyclists. I never did find out what they were supposed to represent, but there were a lot of neat bicycles, including a few high-wheels. I’ll post another photo in a few days.

I’m not sure why, but they just leap out of the photo. Another spotted in the Amsterdam Bicycles photo essay.
