Family & bikes

This photo has hung in my father's house since I was little. It's his mother's parents out on a bicycle ride, probably before they were married and their children were born. Based on the clothes and the bicycles I'd say circa 1895. They were married 1898 in Rhode Island, and their first - of eight - children was born in 1899. They would have been perhaps 20 (him) and 18 (her) in this photo. I don't know who the other people are... yet.
