ABSTRACT

Four years ago a woman on wheels was a rare and conspicuous sight; but today there are few parts of England – perhaps the author may say of the United Kingdom – where a tricycling maid or matron excites any wonder in the mind of the spectator. Certainly no more delightful means of locomotion was ever placed within sex’s reach. Of course in tricycling the first consideration must be the tricycle. The great fault of most costumes devised by men is their excessive weight and warmth. The club already numbers over sixteen thousand members, and any lady-tricyclist who contemplates touring should certainly add her name to the sixteen thousand.
