Title

Bike Stroll in Downtown Oskaloosa, Iowa, Circa 1915

Description

This image captures children riding their bikes through the downtown square in Oskaloosa, Iowa, around 1915. The streets have brick pavement in this photograph, but there are no automobiles present, illustrating the fact that few residents in Oskaloosa, Iowa owned automobiles yet. In all truth, the bicycle was still an object of awe at this point, which is why many of the people in the photo look captivated by all the bicyclists.
