I think Jimmy is right and that Bike is 1915/1920

and the dresses if you google fashion for around that time looks similar
the collar on the 3rd lady from the left

So maybe 1920's?

The Picture could be Haden Hill Park. Who is the little boy peering through the ladies skirts?? I would date it about 1930, by the their hair and clothes. Linell.
