Abstract
"The bicycle is proving a stronger advocate in behalf of dress reform than all the writers and orators since the days when Victoria Woodhull and Dr. Mary Walker were girls. Womankind is generally gravitating into the use of the bicycle and the cumbersome skirt is found incompatible with this form of exercise. There is an imperative demand for greater freedom of movement than can be obtained by the skirted woman on a bicycle, who not only presents a picture devoid of grace, but is in danger of injury through her flopping garments becoming clogged in the machinery."
