Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel. It gives a woman a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. It makes her feel as if she were independent... the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.
--Susan B. Anthony
Yes, I get that. It was part of the beginning of the never ending story of the empowerment of women.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the plot advances, Andrew.
DeleteSo fascinating to be reminded of the importance of bicycling.
ReplyDeleteNot long after the ladies started riding bicycles, guys discovered lady bicycle seats.
ReplyDeleteHi, Kirk!
ReplyDeleteHappy 225th birthday (in heaven) to Susan B. Anthony!
As she turns over in her grave, I'm sure Sue is reminding us that, when you fall off the bike, you need to get up, dust yourself off, hop back on and pedal like hell. By the way, the current administration is all in favor of women's suffrage. Yessir, they want women to suffer as much as possible, along with minorities, the working class and the middle class.
Have a nice weekend and I'll see you next month, good buddy Kirk!
Free and untrammeled -- that's what we want to be!
