Summary:
Black and white photograph showing Denise Taylor with her sisters Lorraine and Lynette, and their friend Beverley Lloyd, with their bicycles in Noble Park, 1958-1959.

They were cycling to Springvale High School, which was something they did every day. Denise remembers: 'It was good exercise, a 3 mile trip.' They cycled like this for two years until Denise's sisters left school. After that Denise opted for train travel, because she didn't want to cycle alone.
