"The Postman," circa 1925

Summary

Bicycles found uses beyond recreational and competitive riding. Police officers, municipal workers and delivery couriers in larger cities used bikes to complete their tasks. Letter carriers, like the small-town postal worker photographed for this stereograph, also used bicycles to speed their rounds.
