  • Cycle TOURING's FIRST COUPLE
    TheCYCLE Pennells TOURING’S FIRST COUPLE ne day in August 1886, artist and cycling enthusiast Joseph BY DAVE BUCHANAN Pennell fell into conversation with two keen cyclists Oin a tavern in Yorkshire, England. The local wheelmen mentioned a recent magazine article about tricycling in Italy. It was written and illustrated, they explained, by “those Pennells” — the well-known American illustrator who “went around with his wife or his sister or something all over creation.” Joseph nodded politely and changed the subject. Little did the Yorkshiremen know that they were, in fact, talking to one of those very Pennells. This story, told by Joseph’s wife (not his sister), Elizabeth Robins Pennell, in The Life and Letters of Joseph Pennell, speaks to the minor celebrity enjoyed in the mid-1880s by this unconventional husband-and-wife creative duo from Philadelphia. In the final decades of the 19th century, they explored England and Europe by cycle and went on to publish five illustrated books about their trips, including A Canterbury Pilgrimage, An Italian Pilgrimage, and Over the Alps on a Bicycle, and dozens of illustrated magazine articles. The Pennells, with Elizabeth writing and Joseph illustrating, produced some of the earliest and best cycle- travel writing in the 1880s and ‘90s. In the process, they helped invent both leisure cycle touring and couples cycle touring. Unlike their more famous contemporary, Thomas Stevens — who set off on a high wheel bicycle in 1884 on a sensational globe-circling adventure, chronicled in his popular book Around the MUSEUM VICTORIA COURTESY ALBERT AND FREDERICK HOLLYER, World on a Bicycle (1887) — the Pennells didn’t seek high adventure in the remote outposts of the globe.

    Sports, Leisure and Days out rarechromo.org Sports, leisure and days out Something we all should enjoy is joining in with sports and leisure pursuits and enjoying a day out. For many children and adults, enjoying leisure pursuits is often complicated by obstacles thrown in their path. This guide has been written to prove that no matter what your ability, there is something for everyone out there and nothing is limitless if you can find the right support, training and organisation. There are many different types of sports and leisure pursuits available to anyone with a disability. In this guide we have included most of the popular ones but it is by no means an exhaustive list. This guide has been written to help signpost families whose children have a rare chromosome or gene disorder. The guide is aimed at those whose children are any age from pre-school to adult, whether they are mildly, moderately or severely affected, either mentally, physically or both. Because Cycling is one of the number one hobby that Unique families contact us about, a large part of the guide is dedicated to Cycling and access to facilites that allow your child to try different bikes to see what suits them. 2 CYCLING Who doesn ’t want to have a go at riding a bike? Most people love to ride and learning to ride a bicycle is a natural part of growing up for most children. It is fun and it is often something that families enjoy doing together. For a child affected by a rare chromosome or gene disorder and having physical and/or learning difficulties it can be a good way of increasing muscle tone and exercising.
