I live for the CABE
My son works for the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison as an archivist and sent me these pictures and captions he discovered in his job of digitizing their archival collection. I really like these old pics!
"Advertisement for the 1895 model of the Telegram Sanger Racer by the Telegram Cycle Manufacturing Company of Milwaukee. Features a drawing of the 1895 model"
Ten-year-old David Paepke, Sauk City, is pictured with the new Sears Roebuck and Company bicycle he won in the Madison Bicycle Safety Week slogan competition for his slogan, "No hands today may mean no life tomorrow."
Masthead of the bicycling journal Pneumatic
"Woman identified as Miss Demoth posing with her bicycle near a house. Her bicycle is equipped with a guard around the chain."
"Sisters Jessie, left, and Lucy Underwood posing with their bicycles on the Montello River bridge in Montello. A man is standing in the far background on the right along the shoreline near an overturned boat."
"Two girls posing with their feet on the handlebars of their bikes, while one of the girls whistles with two fingers and a third girl (also whistling and mugging for the camera) sits next to them on the grass. The girls were part of a summer bike excursion program sponsored by Neighborhood House."
"Dressed in his cycling outfit, Silas Wright Pifer poses next to his Harley-Davidson Motorcycle"
"Passersby don't know it, but what appears to be a coonskin cap around the neck of Todd Vasas, 16, of 2773 S. Shore Drive, is the real thing. Todd, the live raccoon, and the unicycle attract attention as they ride along the lakefront. Todd is taking care of the animal for a friend who is on vacation." He is wearing a shirt, pants, socks and loafers. A rock breakwater and moored sailboats are in the background"
