This fellow evokes thoughts of cooler weather.
The last of the best images (of gents, anyway) from Sellwood’s gallery of vintage cycling posters.

I like his relaxed attitude. His companion seems to be riding rather hard, however.
Another fine specimen from Sellwood Cycle Repair.

Styrian Cycling Attire, circa 1900

Styria is a state in the southeast of Austria (the second largest, in fact), with a traditional regional costume that seems perfectly suited for cycling: short pants, warm socks, and layers. I particularly like the vest and the socks, but the entire package is wonderful. I also like the blanket tied to the saddle.
