Thanks to my friend Dave on Facebook for sharing these wonderful pictures of women cyclists from the 1890s. He found them on Tumblr. I spent a bit of time trying to track them down to give credit but no luck. If you know where they come from, please let us know in the comments!

Love these, but especially the one inscribed “at top speed.” Given the photo technology of the day, she was probably track standing!

Hi, I am somewhat new to Pinterest and thought I’d see if there was anything posted about Tillie Anderson. I was thrilled to see so many different pins about her – including yours! Tillie was my great aunt, and I created this presentation a number of years ago for The Wheelmen convention. I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures!
