Was in the National Gallery the other day fighting my way through cruising folks taking phone pics of the paintings (told one guy who I hadn't noticed who primly asked me to move that he should go and look at the paintings online) .
Admiring constable's Salisbury Cathedral and Leadenhall from the River Avon:

something caught my eye and I looked more closely.
.
Someone out for a nice spin.
Painted 1820.
Safety bicycle reckoned, until now I think, to be the 1880s.
I rest my case.
Enlarged online image, not one I took I stress:
