EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British cycling history. Taken on 1 June 1889, it showcases the gathering of various UK cycling clubs at the iconic Castle Inn in Woodford, Essex. After an exhilarating day of pedaling through picturesque landscapes, the cyclists came together for an unforgettable evening smoking concert. The atmosphere must have been electric as these passionate enthusiasts shared stories and celebrated their love for this emerging mode of transport. The image beautifully portrays the camaraderie among these dedicated individuals who formed a tight-knit community bonded by their mutual adoration for bicycles. As dusk settled over Woodford, the gathering embarked on a unique adventure - a Chinese Lantern ride to Walthamstow. Imagining them riding under flickering lanterns illuminating their path adds an air of enchantment to this already remarkable scene. Preserved through wood engraving from that very month, this photograph offers us a glimpse into Victorian England's fascination with cycling culture. It serves as a testament to how far we've come in terms of transportation and leisure activities. Let this mesmerizing image transport you back to that summer evening in 1889 when passion and innovation collided at Castle Inn. A true homage to the pioneers who embraced two wheels instead of four, forever changing our relationship with movement and freedom.
