Flipping through the pages of a 1899 French Sports Newspaper ("Le Sport Universel Illustré"), I suddenly faced this incredible gallery of Music-Hall "freaks" riding their bicycle... All of them appeared in a show in London... brrr, it reminds me of "Elephant Man"...
From left to right, and from top to bottom, here are "Le Pédaleur à la tête de veau" ("calf-head cyclist"), "Le cycliste à la tête de chien" ("dog-head cyclist"), "Le pédaleur-squelette" ("skeletton-cyclist"), "La cycliste barbue" ("bearded-woman cyclist"), "Le cycliste cul-de-jatte" (it's explicit...), "Le cycliste manchot" ("no-armed cyclist"). (click for lager pics).
Which one is your favorite ?
