Six men line up for the start of a race in Cleveland, Ohio. Identified cyclists include A.B. Rich, W.E. Crist, and Charles Frazier -- recognized racing names found in the pages of cycling journals of the period. Frazier, second from the left, rides a Star Safety -- a high wheeler with the small wheel in front to help prevent headers.
