- Husband and Wife with a High-Wheel Bicycle and Tricycle, 1887 - Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Reynolds posed with their vehicles in this 1887 photograph. Mr. Reynolds' high-wheel bicycle was difficult to mount especially if one dressed like Mrs. Reynolds. Women, however, did not concede the benefits of cycling to men; tricycles were available, women donned less restrictive clothing to mount high-wheelers, and low-mount "safety" bikes were becoming more popular.
