the bicycle window

Jack Thurston of the Bike Show in London has a show about the Bicycle Window, a lovely bit of stained glass in a church in Stoke Poges. It’s not just an nice picture; it may be not only the oldest depiction of a velocipede (dating as it does from 1642), but the oldest depiction of a naked bike ride.

What a wonderful picture and story. This predates other “bicycles” by a very long time.
