Rod brakes will be hard to get hold of. A place you might want to try is the Common Wheel in Glasgow:</p> <p><a href="http://www.commonwheel.org.uk/">http://www.commonwheel.org.uk/</a></p> <p>They keep some old machines for theatrical use. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=467#post-3445 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 00:59:35 +0000 Smudge 3445@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmmm so a Dutch style bike wouldn't be too far off the mark then? Rod type brakes I assume? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=467#post-3444 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 23:54:21 +0000 wee folding bike 3444@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not fundamentally different from today. The safety bike was introduced in 1885 by Starley. Chain drive to the rear wheel through a step up gearing system, front wheel steering and a similar sort of frame were already there well before 1910.</p> <p>The current photo on Copenhagenize is from 1915:</p> <p><a href="http://www.copenhagenize.com/">http://www.copenhagenize.com/</a></p> <p>Men's dress hasn't changed a lot but women on a bike had "rational dress" which caused riots and the bicycle was a major factor in women's liberation, or whatever they called it back then. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=467#post-3443 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 23:12:55 +0000 Smudge 3443@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ok, maybe the wrong part of the forum, but here goes...<br /> My partner and I will be attending a 1910 themed Guide camp next year as part of the Guiding Centenery celebrations, so as I tried to sort out clothes that could more or less look "period" I started to wonder, what sort of bicycles did people ride in 1910? How hard are they to get hold of? What did people wear to ride them etc.<br /> I don't expect to get one, I'm just naturally curious (some would say nosey!) :-)<br /> Anyone know? </p>
