Touring...or 'bikepacking'?

[mjr]

Well of course , it is just showing that the backpacking luggage ideas aren’t new. You’d have to be a bit dim to think it was trying to say it was a photo from 1912. If anyone is concentrating on when the photo was taken, they are missing the point by a country mile. 😂

Why? Where was it taken?

Well if folk aren't convinced by the military Triumph, how about this?

The two on the right look like Watson and Holmes. Inspector Lestrade is probably one of the two on the left.

Think the fourth might be Mycroft.

Just looking again at the two on the left and their foot/pedal positions. How did they remain vertical for what might have been a long exposure (by current standards) photo?
Holmes ...?

Simply by leaning on each-other, my dear Watson!

(one can, of course, tell this by the tyre-tracks).

But Holmes, how did you know the mountains here were limestone? Sedimentary, my dear Watson.

If you want to know how it has been done in the past then I recommend this book:

Egad, how d'you do it Holmes?!

Actually, now you mention it, an even closer look suggests they might even be holding hands. Aw, bless.
