They aren't cyclists.
I'm guessing they are baseball players. If you compare their uniforms to other photos of similar age where the sport has been identified, I'm sure baseball will be the closest match. Here's a photo of a ca. 1896 cyclist cabinet I own: Ed Gaffney - cyclist

Sorry Jimmy but that ain't no ball player. That's a circa 1875 Irish Clogger holding a knee breaker and a bad attitude.

Jimmy, what's your basis for saying this? You can look at photos of ballplayers in some of the 19th century SABR publications, and you'll see guys dressed exactly like this, right down to the funny hats.
