In the book R.B.D's Diary, October 2nd, 1900. Some lady cyclist's added considerably to the dangers of cycling by their attire.
"Ladies who persist in riding bicycles in long skirts must expect to get hurt. I saw a handsome Junoesque figure today dressed in laces and flounces, riding on a bicycle in Sloane Street. Her skirt became entangled and she came down with a crash. My tailor tells me that women flatly refuse to wear short skirts for fear of exposing their legs."
