St. George’s Engineering / “New Rapid” Cycles. ca. 1890.
Using a British-made St. George’s cycle to gain some height, a mother helps her young boy paint a sign to advertise their bike of choice. Developed in 1889, this safety cycle had an improved cross frame and a small footrest on the front wheel for coasting.
