EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand showcases a significant moment in American history - a group of lady bicycle riders in Detroit, Michigan, embarking on a practice spin in 1879. The line engraving, sourced from an American newspaper, beautifully captures the essence of this late 19th-century recreation and transportation phenomenon. In the image, we witness these pioneering women confidently pedaling their wheels through the streets of North America's automotive capital. This snapshot into daily life highlights not only their love for bicycling but also their determination to challenge societal norms and embrace new opportunities for freedom and adventure. Bicycling as a sport was gaining popularity during this time period, and these fearless ladies were at the forefront of breaking gender barriers. Their enthusiasm for cycling paved the way for future generations of women to participate in sports traditionally dominated by men. The intricate details captured by The Granger Collection's expert engravers transport us back to an era where bicycles symbolized progress and empowerment. As we admire this historical artifact, let us celebrate these remarkable women who defied conventions with every pedal stroke – leaving an indelible mark on both American culture and the world of sports.
