Lady Cycling : What to Wear and How to Ride Hardback
by F. J. Erskine
Hardback
Description
This pioneering Victorian guide for the woman cyclist, first published in 1897, instructs its readers on the selection of a bicycle, the rules of the road, appropriate cycling costume, the choice of food to take on journeys, and the organisation of bicycle gymkhanas - as well as tackling the controversial question of whether cycling is an appropriate activity for ladies.
Its humorous advice evokes the spirit of an age when cycling was a daring activity for the modern woman.
