Bicycle Racers

These four young men were practicing in Spokane's first park, Coeur d'Alene Park, for a race scheduled at Corbin Park.  The fairgrounds at Corbin Park often hosted athletic competitions, racing events, and county fairs.  Bicycling found a loyal following in Spokane as a competitive sport, an outdoor leisure activity, and practical and inexpensive transportation.
