Norman Searl and Daughter on a Bicycle, circa 1935

01

Artifact Overview

Norman Searl and his daughter pose for a photograph on a bicycle. The bike probably belonged to an older sister -- the drop frame is one clue that this is a bike for a girl, and other family photographs show an older girl with the bike. Children rode bicycles to and from school or around the neighborhood with family and friends.
