I spent all the week end looking at the family pictures and I discovered those two pictures of my grand father Adrien, 1870 - 1927.
Looking closely at it, it appears that they are not yet bicycles but tricycles and quadricycles. Which leads to believe that those images are from around 1890 for tricycles were invented in 1880 and pedal bicycles in 1900.
Those devices are complex, meaning odd. The tricycle with the great lateral wheel is a Rudge patent but quadricycles are Matchless patent.
Had the motorcycles existed then, no doubts my grand father would have been a biker. Watch what the gangs of bikers looked like before 20th century

Road racing motorcycles accompanied SCCA races in California in the early 1960s. 500cc. British "One lungers" like the Norton Manx and the Matchless G50 were the dominant machines, driven by experts like John McLaughlin, Buddy
Parriott, Don Vesco, Tony Murphy, and others.
Peter Adams on #90 Honda 350 leads John McLaughlin on #25 Norton Manx at Cotati on July 16, 1961. McLaughlin was a frequent winner in this era.
McLaughlin and Adams on the grid at Vaca Valley Raceway, on Aug. 20, 1961. I can't find a program listing for #190 so I have no idea who he is or what he's riding.
