Ladies light roadster

Hard to say when this picture was taken, possibly late thirties? Equally hard to identify the cycle, what is for sure is that it is a lightweight ladies model. Our dame seems to take her cycling seriously: it's a useful day-sized saddlebag she has, plus down-turned handlebars and what's more she has the physique of someone accustomed to putting a few miles in!

  1. She's showing off the bicycle, not really riding today, in that dress and clean socks (no chain guard! Still not a standard feature). The bike is brand new -- see how the fenders shine and the little mud flap on the front fender hasn't fallen off yet. My guess is that the bike is a birthday present, and the occasion of this photo.

  2. Interesting "mary jane"-type shoes that have added re-inforcement at the instep.
