Designated
in 1956 by the League of American Cyclists, May is National Bike Month.
Throughout the month, area bike associations will be holding celebrations,
fundraisers and events to promote safety awareness, as well as the
environmental and health benefits associated with bike riding. Having gone
through many redesigns since it was first introduced in the 19th century; the modern bicycle is
now one of the more popular modes of transportation, exercise and
recreation.
From our Photo Archives, here are just a few of my favorite
bike enthusiasts:

| Harry Gottlieb, Sunday in the Park |
 |
| Frank Jensen, Coming 'Round the Bend |
You can find more examples of bicycles in art, along with historical images in the Collections Search Center.
Happy cycling!
