Title	Tandem Bicycle Riders
Subject	Bicycles; Transportation
Description	The tandem bicycle, often called a bicycle built for two, was most popular in the early 1900's but can still be found on the market today. It was the first mode of transportation that made it acceptable for a lady to ride as a man would--no sidesaddle available. The plodding horse and carriage following the bicycle and the early automobiles parked along Main Street are a composite of transportation on city streets in the 1920's. Hiram Lemen describes the bicycle rider as "the Cox Boy".
