Bicycle Postcard:The Cycle Crash Victorian Tricycle Coventry Museum 1980s XT5339

This historic view captures a humorous nineteenth-century lithographic art illustration titled 'The Cycle Crash'. Two Victorian women in traditional layered dresses are shown losing control of their early velocipeed transport, with one tumbling from a high-wheel bicycle and another tipping a large tricycle. The scene provides a colorful, playful glimpse into early cycling history and the social perceptions of ladies riding wheeled transport during the late Victorian period.
