Washington’s capital bicycle life and club culture
Special Correspondence outlines Washington as the paradise of bicyclers with 4000 wheels and hundreds of tricycles. It describes asphalt streets, the Capital Bicycle Club's three story clubhouse on Fifteenth Street, and practical uses from newsboys to milk vendors. It notes riding skills, street etiquette, and feats such as Capitol steps descents and riding the Cabin John Arch.
