EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 1860s, showcasing an early form of transportation that revolutionized personal mobility - the two-seated velocipede. Dated 1869, this intriguing invention is a precursor to the modern bicycle, with its distinctive large wheels and minimal frame. The two-seater design was a popular innovation in America during this era, catering to the social norms of the time where ladies were expected to ride side-saddle. The velocipede, also known as the "high wheeler" or "ordinary," was propelled by pushing off the ground with both feet and using the pedals to turn the front wheel. This foot-powered mechanism, a significant departure from earlier transport methods, offered a newfound sense of freedom and independence. The elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen in the photograph exemplify the allure and charm of this early bicycle. The back seat, designed specifically for ladies, is an intriguing detail that speaks to the social conventions of the time. The two-seater velocipede was not only a symbol of innovation but also a reflection of the changing societal norms, as women began to explore newfound freedoms and opportunities for leisure and recreation. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and creativity of the inventors who paved the way for the bicycle craze that would sweep across the world in the coming decades. The two-seated velocipede, with its timeless design and revolutionary impact, remains an intriguing chapter in the history of transportation.
