EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to the early 1900s in Camborne, a bustling town known for its rich mining history. The image showcases a group of cyclists gathered together, led by none other than Captain Percy Bickford-Smith with the Cyclists Section. As we delve into this snapshot of history, it becomes evident that cycling was not only a means of transportation but also a source of camaraderie and adventure. The cyclists exude an air of excitement and determination as they prepare to embark on their journey through the cobbled streets and picturesque countryside. The bicycles themselves stand as symbols of progress and freedom during an era marked by rapid industrialization. With their elegant frames and spoked wheels, these vintage two-wheelers evoke nostalgia for simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. This photograph is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates the spirit of community that thrived amongst these individuals who shared a common passion for exploration on two wheels. It serves as a reminder that even in times long gone, people sought connection through shared interests and hobbies. Preserved within the walls of the Royal Cornwall Museum, this print offers us an invaluable glimpse into our past while reminding us that human connections transcend time. It invites us to reflect upon how far we have come since those early days in Camborne while cherishing our own bonds forged through similar passions today.
