Thread Of Original Old Bicycle Photos Only -- No Discussion Please!

Photo location says taken near Pullman Company shops near Richmond California. Glass plate negative in Black and white and colorized.
"The photo likely dates to 1910, about the time that construction workers completed the new nearby Pullman Company repair shops. Next door, land speculators created Pullman Park (note the kiosk), a residential development conceived at a time when industrial workers, due to matters of time and economy, preferred to walk to work. This general frame of mind would last for about another five years, at which time the automotive age suddenly and unexpectedly burst forth, turning old predictions upside down."
