Cycle Chic - 1899


This really needs music, but it is beautiful nonetheless.

    What is this? A demonstration of an exam class at riding school? Or a modern version of a Bournonville choreography?

    Unless I'm mistaken, not a dress-guard in sight.

    Wonderful cine-film.

    Thanks Mikael for all your hard work.

    Beautiful and inspiring. What were their secrets for managing those skirts?

    Thanks Mikael!

    "A demonstration of an exam class at riding school?"

    Or something very much like that. Perhaps a riding club skills demonstration.

    Films like this would be accompanied by a live piano player, so if you miss the music, do it right and pull up a keyboard.

    A ragged time cakewalk would be appropriate.
