Mending a bicycle on a tour near Füssen, 1937

The bicycle stands upside down on its saddle and handlebars on the roadside grass; framed by the spokes of the rear wheel, a young man in lederhosen and a dark jacket bends low to work on the tyre, a pump and a knapsack beside him. A dark triangular pennant with a pale emblem hangs from the crossbar. For young Jews barred from the Hitler Youth and from most German clubs, the leagues' bicycle tours were one of the last freedoms of the open road.
