It is National Bike Month and we wanted to celebrate by showing this lantern slide shot by William Harvey Doering of a woman standing next to her bicycle in Long Island, N.Y. (1900). There is nothing like riding a bike on a cool Spring day, and for women in 1900, cycling was a piece of independence. 

Doering, William Harvey, 1858-1924, photographer. [Woman standing with bicycle in front of hedge near path, Long Island, N.Y.] [graphic]. ca. 1900. 1 slide: lantern; 8 x 11 cm.(3 x 4 in.)
