@FourT4 asks:

Q2. Can you share images of women cycling:

- in the late 19th/early 20th century, when it was a A Big Deal*, including but not limited to ads & patronising satirical cartoons

- in press cuttings

- contemporary ones showing bicycles as a tool of independence (e.g. Afghan women)

Thanks. I got a message from Roach Minor, they've learned that bicycles played a big part in women's independence and it'd be fun to deluge w/ examples.

@ascentale @FourT4 @bikenite A2: oooh, I love this one! I gave a talk a couple years back on this subject, and I’m doing it again this spring with a slightly different title.

@grammasaurus By any chance are you ever in the Midwest. We have local group that hosts open lectures we call History Happy Hour here in town once a month. That would be a great talk.
