An old engraving of a man and woman riding a tandem bicycle in the 1800s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. This amusing image has the woman holding a parasol and sits on the rear seat of the bike in a side-saddle position – the man is maybe doing most of the peddling! Many types of bicycle were invented during the Victorian era – varying in design from the really useful to the fanciful and amusing.
