Take a bike ride....

It's time to get fit. Why not join the craze for cycling!
Cycling became fashionable during the1870's when the bone shaker was replaced by the 'ordinary' bicycle, such as the Ariel bicycle of 1872. The 'ordinary' bicycles were known affectionately by the 1890's as 'penny farthings' after the 'safety' cycle had replaced them from 1882 onwards.
Easier to maintain than a horse, the bicycle represented not only novelty, but a new independence.
