Breakfast Cycling Cyclist Farewell Formal Goodbye Hands Landlady Nice Shaking Staying Touring
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a tour cyclist bids a heartfelt farewell to the kind landlady of the bed and breakfast where he has been staying during his journey. The scene is set in the 1930s, an era when touring by bicycle was a popular and adventurous way to travel. The cyclist, dressed in cycling attire, is seen shaking hands with the landlady in a formal and respectful manner, both of them expressing a sense of gratitude and appreciation for each other. The cyclist's weary yet determined expression speaks volumes about the challenges and rewards of long-distance touring. His bicycle, leaning against the wall, is a testament to the physical demands of the journey. Meanwhile, the landlady, with a warm and welcoming smile, embodies the spirit of hospitality and kindness that cyclists often encounter on their travels. This photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of touring by bicycle. It reminds us of a time when travel was more about the journey than the destination, and when the simple pleasures of life, such as a warm bed and a good meal, were cherished all the more. The image also underscores the human connection that can be forged between travelers and the people they meet along the way, making for memories that last a lifetime. This photograph is a beautiful and historical representation of the rich tapestry of touring by bicycle in the 1930s. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of this mode of transport and the unique experiences it offers to those who embrace the adventure.
