This is the cover of the programme for the Interprovincial Bicycle Races at Lancaster Park in Christchurch on Boxing Day in 1890. It featured 18 events, including a two-mile championship race, a separate Māori race, and even a toy tricycle race. Total prizes amounted to £100. Music was provided at intervals.
