Description: We are offering an 1890s stereoview photograph of a woman riding her bicycle along the beach at Coney Island. Photo is by Culver Service Photos, 205 E. 42nd St., New York. Interested sunbathers and people walking on the beach are looking at her. The pavilion building and boardwalk are visible in the background. **NOTE** - in the 1890s bicycle riding was enthusiastically taken up by many women, an activity that gave them a sense of independence and freedom from the restrictions of the home. Riding through the countryside, or in this case on the beach, by themselves with no need of an escort, must have been exhilarating! Many people criticized women for participating in this activity and some were even shocked by it - a likely reason the onlookers were staring.
