Voor dit meisje lijkt de bovenbuis niet echt een probleem te vormen, getuige haar extatische mimiek...

Mooi contrast een stalen ros met een plastic voorgevel

Die fietsen gingen paar weken gelden voor niet al teveel weg via ebay.
Erg mooi inreal.
Maar das off topic zeker?

Miss Londonderry

Annie’s Bicycle Ride

Annie Cohen Kopchovsky set out from Boston on her around-the-world-in-fifteen-months bicycle trip on June 25 in 1894. Born in Riga, Latvia, and the mother of three young children, Kopchovsky’s trip was a response to a wager, which would earn her $10,000 if she succeeded (the feat had been completed by a man in 1885).

The Londonderry Spring Water Company launched her with $100 to carry their placard on her bike — and she became known as Annie Londonderry. Although she had first ridden a bicycle only days before, she pedalled out of Boston on a 42-pounder, which she exchanged in Chicago for a 21-pound men’s Sterling (having already exchanged her skirts for bloomers). Kopchovsky’s extraordinary solo trip — with a lot of steamship travel — included France (Paris to Marseilles on bicycle in two weeks), Egypt, Jerusalem, Yemen, Sri Lanka, and Singapore, before she biked from San Francisco to Los Angeles to El Paso to Denver and back to Boston by September 24, 1895.

She earned her way by signing photographs, endorsing products, and speaking on vaudeville and other circuits, while overturning every imaginable Victorian principle of womanhood and becoming a sensation of the Gay ’90s.

“Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel.” –Susan B. Anthony, 1896 (Suffragette)
