THE JUNIOR BICYCLE GAME

PARKER BROTHERS, SALEM, MA

EARLY AMERICAN GAME, 1897

Chromolithographed Paper on Cardboard

Size: 21 x 15 in; 53.3 x 38.1 cm, framed

This is a very old (and very simple) track game depicting a bicycle race across 100 miles of varied country. Each space on the game board represents 1 mile. On a turn, you spin the spinner and advance the number of spaces indicated. If the space has no instructions, your turn ends. If the space does have instructions (such as "Coast for 3 Spaces"), you follow them. The first player to travel the 100 miles and reach the Home space is the winner.
