Can anyone point me toward what keen highwheel cyclists - racing and touring - around 1885 wore?  Have pennyfarthing, need outfit.  Or at least, outfit ideas to bastardise in the same way that the wheel is getting a luxeon/carbide lamp anachrofusion.  Authenticity be damned, but it's a starting point.  There are some nice caps inna Yehuda Moon style over at Etsy...

And you need a bell. For when "Bicycle Race" inevitably starts playing in your head.
