I cant imagine this person on that bike, wouldn't reach the pedals, don't see any brakes on it either, if it has a backpedal brake he's in big trouble . LoL.

Too much cycling and no enough gardening lass? But well done; you were Orkney's champion.

Anyone have any idea where this is?
Added by Bruce on 19 August 2008
Er... we seem to be in some doubt as to whether this individual is male or female!

Answers on a postcard... :^S

By the dress style I would say female...but you never know?

Sorry I started off being careful on this one and lapsed into refering to he, also my remark about a backpedal brake, it wouldn't have been invented still at that time, was this by any chance an Olympic gold medalist?

Na, shae's a lass. If shae'd been anything ither shae'd have been more famous than Skatehorn. Imagine. "Orkney's transvestite cyclist wins Olympic gold medal." Ah think wae'da herd be noo!
But that skirt and that crossbar. HOW?

The coat is buttoned up the girls' way. Taken in May or June, presumably, depending on the weather that year.
