Some Interesting Photos and Facts from the Pickwick Bicycle Club Collection

From a journal by George Foster of a bicycle trip through the Pyrenees in 1899 .

…Whilst standing in the street discussing whether to go on further and “chance” what accommodation we could get, or to stay in this quaint old town, a man in cycling costume came up and addressed us in English. We were of course rather surprised. I was uncertain at first whether our new acquaintance was a Yankee or an Englishman, but soon found he was the latter. He was Mr Boulter of The Pickwick C.C. and turned out a fine fellow.
