Bicycle Race at Greenfield Village, 1982

01

Artifact Overview

Contestants were photographed at the start of an egg-and-spoon race in Greenfield Village in 1982. The twist: each racer was riding a bicycle. The competition was part of a special event called "An 1890s Outing," held on July 17-18 of that year. Each cyclist had to finish the race without dropping the precariously perched egg.
