  74. pimbert - rdwrt

    Thousands of years of technological innovation, just to have institutions working on high-tech solutions to preserve pictures of dogs riding bikes!

  75. that is so real!

  76. That’s nothing compares to dogs in real fashion with toes care and verni, high classy hairdressed and damnit teeth-brushing too…

    You can’t do this to other races without their permission either, artificial human-being!!! and doing that cannot erase your bad-doing-complexity: they’re still counted as bad-deeds.

    Haven’t heard of the word RESPECT in your education there?

  83. Probably John Becht (note spelling). See, for example,
    query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E07E3DD1531E233A…

  84. Jarl van Hoother

    that’s the cyclist?

  85. I think it’s André Perchicot.

    Perchicot came in 3rd place in the 1912 Word Cycling Championship, which was held in the Newark Velodrome.

  86. The part in his hair down the middle is definitely from the wind.

  87. Jarl van Hoother

    He can’t smile cos all the flies stuck to his teeth.

  88. Great shot, but it seems too contrasty for the 10s. Maybe the Library did a little Photoshop…

  89. Perchicot and the Suter (sp?) brothers [see http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2449487322] look to have been in town to cycle round Madison Square Garden for several days – - not my idea of fun!!!

    See NYT article query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F03E3DB103CE633A…

    December 14, 1912, Saturday
    In a nineteen-minute sprint, which started at 12:58 o’clock this morning, the field of leaders in the six-day race at Madison Square Garden was reduced to five teams.

  90. simon yang i312

    Great picture, he doesn’t look like a cyclist

  91. The Library of Congress

    TheeErin and swanq: Thanks for making useful connections! We’ll add some information to our description. – Bernie: You may be interested in the information we provide about how we digitized the photographs in the FAQ on our site: http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/flickr_pilot_faq.html#howdigitize

  92. Uh, no, his hair part has NOTHING to do with the wind. That is the way men wore their hair. Look at other old photos.

  93. Simon, WHAT DOES A CYCLIST LOOK LIKE????? I am a cyclist. Do I look like ONE?

  94. The hair part comment was a joke, budderflyman. "joke" "lighthearted" "butterflies" "fun" "high spirits" "silly"

  95. Jarl van Hoother

    view profile Hey budderflyman, do the flies stick to the teeth? Is the hair parted down the middle and swept back? That’s the cyclist look, very chic on the continent.

  96. Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )

    I added him to Wikipedia:
