Can anyone make an educated guess when this tintype was taken?

Here is the link: http://i.imgur.com/cTYpY.jpg it is a tintype photo. Anyone have any idea when it may have been taken judging by clothing/setting, etc?

Update:

Also I should ask if anyone has a rough guess as to the age of the man in the photo? I'd say maybe he's in his late 20's or early to mid 30's?

    Tinytin was patented first in the 1850's, The wooden/iron frame bicycle, called the Boneshaker for being extremely uncomfortable, was invented in the 1860's. My educated guess Would be between 1860-1900. Hope this helped!
