    Shows a fashionable young woman riding a velocipede side-saddle. Behind her, also on a velocipede, is a man who looks on puzzled. The caption begins with an extract from the New York Sun, which explains how ladies can, 'in one week's practice, of an hour daily', ride a velocipede 'side-saddle-wise with the utmost ease'. The caption comments that the illustration is 'what we may expect to see this season'.
