Further, I'm submitting a photograph of friend Tom in one of my all time favorite cycling ensembles (a candidate for our post-apocalyptic team uniform).
Side note: I love the (portable?) "Chicago Cycling Club" pennant in the penultimate photo. At what point did we lose our connection to identifying pennants, lapel pins and patches? I'd like to see a revival of these sorts of embellishing and cheery (yet cheap!) "club" accessories. Rivendell is the only( bicycle) company I know offering a modern promotional pennant (billed as their "worst selling item of all time").

These photos are fantastic!
To add a little color to the fourth photo, that's Fred Scherer & Walter Wiley from the Caribou Club. In 1913 they were part of a race from New York to San Francisco. More photos and discussion can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3201066271/
