Images From the Attic: Biking history in Clark County By Martin Middlewood, for The Columbian Published: March 7, 2021, 5:54am Share: 2 Photos Matilda Stanger Overand shows off her bicycle. While machinists had adapted bicycles for women, clothing designers were farther behind. Although this model has a rear bumper to protect its rider from backsplashes, it lacks a chain guard and is a bit tall for its rider. This helps date the photo to the 1890s. Her father, John Stanger, was a Scotsman who arrived in the area with the Hudson's Bay Company in 1838. He built the Stanger House in 1867, which still stands on the Old Evergreen Highway near Russell Landing.
