Lady Cyclists


 In their book "Motors and Motor Driving" from 1902 , S. F. Edge and Charles Jarrott look at the cyclists who, for a decade, had been monarchs of the road, but we're now a great nuisance.

"Lady cyclists are or used to be a great danger, for when a motor was heard approaching them from behind, they usually fell of their bicycles,  apparently in terror; but this distressing spectacle is now comparatively seldom seen."
