Oh, WOW... Check out these old photos!!
I just stumbled on this incredibly cool site full of OLD old photos of people with bicycles... there are lots of them!!
https://www.cthistoryonline.org/ Click on "search," then type in your search info... you may have to play around with the search features a bit, but it's worth it!! Under Basic Search, I typed in the world "Bicycle," with "none" under limit/location, and "title keyword" on the right, and hit Search, and came up with about 32 great photos!!
If you click on the line of the photo you want to see, its description page will come up, then click on the caption again where it says "View Image" at the top, in the yellow section...
Example, from 1885:

That's a great site, Zee. Another along those lines is the Smithsonian online collection: https://loc.memory.gov. It includes photos, advertisements, other printed material. Here's a good one linked to that collection: https://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/eaa/...-01-72dpi.html
