EDITORS COMMENTS
Early Cycling: A Journey to Hobby Fair in 1835". This print captures a moment from the past, taking us back to the year 1835. The scene depicts a group of cyclists embarking on an adventurous journey towards the highly anticipated Hobby Fair. Created by George Cruikshank and beautifully preserved in this colour lithograph, it offers a glimpse into the early days of cycling. The image showcases men, women, and children alike, all eager participants in this emerging sport. With their bicycles lined up by the lake's edge, they prepare for their ride with anticipation and excitement visible on their faces. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the shimmering pond to the majestic mountain backdrop. As we observe closely, we notice signs of weariness among some riders who have already experienced fatigue during their expedition. This serves as a reminder that even though cycling was still relatively new at this time, it required physical endurance and determination. Amongst these adventurers is a diverse mix of individuals - women breaking societal norms as they embrace sportsmanship alongside men; young boys experiencing newfound freedom on two wheels; and even those struggling with corpulence finding joy in this liberating mode of transportation. This historic photograph not only captures an era but also reflects how cycling has evolved over time. It reminds us that through sport and recreation, people have always sought adventure while pushing boundaries – just like these early cyclists did on their way to Hobby Fair.
