EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from 1895 captures a young woman confidently sporting the latest cycling costume of the time. Clad in a practical yet stylish outfit consisting of a jacket and knee-length bloomers, she exudes an air of independence and freedom as she prepares to embark on a bicycle ride. However, her friend's mocking expression suggests that not everyone was accepting of this new rational cycling attire for women.
In an era when ladies' fashion still heavily favored restrictive corsets and long skirts, this forward-thinking ensemble represented a significant departure from tradition. The young woman's choice to embrace such progressive clothing reflects her willingness to challenge societal norms and embrace modern modes of transport.
As she stands poised with her bicycle by her side, it is evident that she is ready to take on the world - regardless of any judgment or ridicule from those around her. This historical image serves as a reminder of the courage and determination exhibited by trailblazing women who dared to defy conventions and pave the way for future generations.
Through this snapshot in time, we are transported back to an era where fashion met function, and women were breaking barriers one pedal at a time.
