A Wheel Within A Wheel
Frances E. Willard
Originally published in 1895, Frances Willard's tale of how she learned to ride a bicycle at age 53 will be a delightful and amusing book for any female cyclist today. She describes her riding outfit as "a skirt and blouse of tweed, with belt, rolling collar and loose cravat, the skirt three inches from the ground; a round straw hat, and walking shoes with gaiters. It was a simple modest suit, to which no person of common sense could take exception." My, we’ve come a long way, haven’t we?!
Cycling For Women
The Editors of Bicycling Magazine
Women are given the answers they need to make a smooth entry into all phases of bicycling, from picking the right bicycle to touring Australia.
"Cycling is, after all, a sport for everyone. For women, it can be particularly rewarding because it puts us in command and in control. Improvement is easy; it simply takes practice. Success is measured by miles ridden and terrain overcome. It's a sport that's simultaneously exhilarating and grueling. The experience of any ride varies from elation to frustration, but the result is always satisfying." -- Connie Carpenter Phinney, Gold Medallist, 1984 Olympic Road Race
