ALT The Bicycle Face Opinions as to the Cause of the Worried "Bike Expression" It has been definitely decided by both medical and lay authorities that there is such a thing as "bicycle face" and all the girls and a large proportion of the men who ride wheels in San Francisco are asking each other "Have I the bicycle face?" Just what the bicycle face is and just how it shows itself is somewhat indefinite, but a clever rider has described it as being "the sentimental side of that tired feeling." It is yearning, anxious, hopeful, fearful, exhausted, incomplete and generally dissatisfied. There are as many reasons for the "bicycle face" as there are shades of expression in the same. The most modish bicycle suit when worn by a woman is ground for the anxious expression and insecurity but adds force thereto. --The San Francisco Chronicle, 21 Jul 1895.
