UK Cyclist recruitment poster for the territorial army (1912)

Image Description:
a battle scene set in a British village street, featuring a dismounted Territorial Army cyclist, in uniform and chin-strapped forage cap, loading his rifle. Behind him stand two more members of the battalion, one firing his rifle, the other placed his bicycle against a wall. In the background, the remainder of the battalion come to join them.
Well, mostly because of the shit being everywhere.
That, but there would also be pedestrians getting stepped on in cities.
