[San Francisco Bicycle Club in Oakland near 5th and Jackson streets

  This photograph was either taken by William Heron Lowden or William Channing Gibbs. There are four versions of this photo, taken by two photographers, on that day, in your collection. I'm fairly certain they were the two photographers. More, here: wooljersey.com/wiki/STEVENS_IN_THE_SADDLE._-_San_Francisc... .
