Bicycle Days 1896-1900

Wheeling Into a New Century

By: Lost Century of Sports Collection,Maria E. Ward

This volume of the Sports She Wrote series completes the nine-volume chronological journey of 19th century cycling articles written by women. By the end of the century, the bicycling craze transitioned from a fleeting fad into a deeply ingrained aspect of American culture. Bicycles were no longer mere novelties but essential methods of transportation for the masses, sources of physical exercise, and vehicles for leisure and sports. Forty-eight articles (102,000 words) authored by dozens of women writers and 38 illustrations from 20 periodicals offer insightful discourse on the state and development of women’s cycling. These articles offer a multifaceted exploration of various cycling topics, reflecting the evolving attitudes and practices surrounding the sport. The final cycling article, published in 1900, is emblematic of the progress made and the future prospect for athletic cycling, focusing on women’s “fancy riding,” now known as trick riding. This volume includes the comprehensive book “Bicycling for Ladies,” written by Maria E. Ward, published in 1896. With 34 accompanying photographs, Ward's book serves as a testament to the vibrancy and diversity of cycling culture during this pivotal period in history. In addition to the basics of riding, Ward provides detailed instructions for maintenance and repair of bicycles and demonstrates how to use the necessary tools that many women of the era were unaccustomed to using. The volume concludes with a foretaste of the future penned by Mary Sargent Hopkins, whose cycling articles are featured in several volumes of this series, but in this case introduces readers to a new wheeled contraption destined to revolutionize independent transportation—the automobile. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.

Bicycling for Ladies

The Classic 1896 Guide to Skills, Exercise, Mechanics, and Dress

By: Maria E. Ward

Bicycling for Ladies is the trailblazing book that introduced women to bicycling and shocked a Victorian culture on its release in 1896. Today it remains comprehensive and useful, but also celebrates women's advancement in the sport and offers an inspiring, and amusing, look back. Maria E. Ward let the social norms and gendered expectations of the nineteenth century eat her dust when she wrote the groundbreaking guide to bicycling for women. In chapters such as Women and Tools, Dress, and How to Make Progress, Ward explains the function of wheels, gears, and spokes, gives instruction on how to safely and efficiently ride, and discusses optimal attire (layers and a stretchy corset, of course). Ward's detailed mechanical and physical instruction, paired with helpful images and charts, makes daunting ordeals like hill climbing, navigating traffic, and bike maintenance a breeze. In modern times, when so much is outsourced, automated, and unreliable, Ward's approach to transportation is refreshing. But while bicycling is rich with health and environmental benefits, male bicyclists still outnumber female riders, most competitive cyclists are male, and women are more likely to report feeling unsafe on a bike. Ward's text gives women the tools they need to claim their stake of the road. For seasoned cyclists or those just starting out, it is a timeless and relevant directive--ideal for today's woman who's ready to take the world by the handlebars. The photos and instructional images throughout Bicycling for Ladies are the result of a collaboration between Ward and Alice Austin, one of America's earliest and most prolific professional female photographers. The volume has an elegant new design and is small enough to ride with.
