For a bicycle called the "Eaglet," a fancifully costumed rider hitches a ride with an eponymous bird: an effective, almost mythological image of lightness and freedom. The rider's blindfold may signify an utterly trustworthy machine, or simply the abandonment of one's cares in order to ride with the wind. (It is unlikely that either the blindfold or the rest of the costume presented are recommended wear for cyclists).
