I've seen that pic somewhere before but can't remember where. I believe the photo was taken somewhere in London. At first I thought it was Hyde Park but I'm more inclined to think maybe Crystal Palace which was popular in Victorian and Edwardian times. I also think the lady in the pic was titled - Lady Something-or-Other and it is either very late Victorian or just into the Edwardian era (judging by her hat and leg-of-mutton sleeves which were popular in Edwardian times).

It's really annoying me because I've seen this before, along with the write-up of her. Just can't remember where.

The women of that era must have been really uncomfortable, and if that skirt got caught up in the wheels...ouch!!!

I wonder if this lady was alive today what she'd say about how we dress and the different types of bikes we ride?
