Links to Early Adventist Thinking On the Bicycle http://www.adventistarchives.org/docs/RH/RH1895-29/index.djvu?djvuopts&page=7 In 1895, several articles appear against the "immodesty" of a woman an a bike. This link helps to capture the mood of the day re: women and bicycles. http://cliffhanger76.tripod.com/bikewest/nellie/ "Let me tell you what I think about bicycling. It has done more to emancipate women than anything else in this world. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untram- meled womanhood. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman on a wheel . . ." — Susan B. Anthony . |
