Summary
| Description |
English:
Miss Ellen Parvin and Mr FJ Warman model two penny-fathing bicycles. The Ariel penny-fathing, made by James Starley, was a very popular make; the Lady Ariel shown here has a noseless sidesaddle, asymmetrical handlebars, a treadle instead of pedals, and non-inline wheels. It was Starley's first attempt at a bicycle marketed to women. It is not clear if more than the prototype was ever made, or if the machine was at all usable.
