Vel Phillips Riding a Bicycle

Image

A group of bicycle riders on the street, with a smiling Vel Phillips in the lead. She is wearing a sweater, scarf, gloves, slacks and lace up shoes. Other riders are wearing suits, pants, coats and jackets. One woman has a toddler in a child seat behind her. They are just passing the Holloway House Cafeteria, a Brills Hickey-Freeman Clothes store and a Brills/Colony truck. Pedestrians are watching from the sidewalk. Tall buildings are in the background. A Gimbels sign is in the upper right corner.
