This picture of Gay Nineties bicyclers in front of the old Glen Miller Pavilion was taken in 1894. The youths, gearing up for a Sunday ride, posed before a sign advertising (indistinct in this reproduction) “melons on ice” and “hand-operated” milkshake machines. Most of the men had mustaches. The women wore conservative long skirts prior to wearing elegantly scandalous pants beneath, called bloomers. Knickerbockers - baggy knee-length trousers worn without skirts - would later supplant bloomers and give even more unrestricted movement. Only in the 1930s did it become respectable for women to wear pants. Today’s story is about mass bicycle incursions by both sexes on Main Street.
