Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bicycling for Ladies: With Hints as to the Art of Wheeling Advice to Beginners Dress Care of the Bicycle Mechanics Training Exercise, Etc;, Etc
I have found that in bicycling, as in other sports essayed by them, women and girls bring upon them selves censure from many sources. I have also found that this censure, though almost invariably deserved, is called forth not so much by what they do as the way they do it.
It is quite natural to suppose, in attempting an unaccustomed exercise, that you have to do only what you see done and as others about you are do ing. But to attain success in bicycling, as in other things, it is necessary to study the means as well as to look to the end to be attained, and to understand what must not be attempted as well as to know each step that will be an advance on the road to progress.
