I got my library books today! "Bicycling for Ladies" is so beautiful. The cover is embossed with a picture of a lady on a bike. The back cover has a dog chasing her! Some things never change.

The contrast between it and "Every Woman's Guide to Cycling" is fantastic. I'd like to post pics of the two together, but I don't want to infringe on any copyright laws. Anyone know if this would be a no-no (to post pics of the covers)?

I haven't read much so far, but I really get the sense of how much harder bike riding was to learn, on roads rutted from carriage wheels and the like, while wearing dresses and petticoats, and shoes with heels. Still, they did it. I don't know if I would have tried. I hope I would have.
