"The Girl Who Has A Bicycle Does Not Need Wings" - Wheel Talk

I picked up this antique copy of the publication Wheel Talk recently.  Apparently it was published out of the Chicago area during the late 1890s hey day of cycling.  Lots of tips and witticisms are included in this brief periodical about enjoying your "wheel" and how to dress, eat, and fully appreciate it.  I adore this era of printed material, event more so when it is about cycling.  The typefaces, verbiage, and elegant style make these kinds of publications a treat.  Sometimes less is more when it comes to graphic design.  Actually less is usually more when it comes to graphic design.  Something that I try to convey to my students when they are designing things in my classes.

Here are a few screen shots of the pages of this slight but fun publication.  Some of the advice given in the page below is quite amusing.
