Millions of people went out into the country on bicycles at the end of the 1800s, but roads back then were bumpy, and the popular high-wheeled bicycle led to dangerous falls.

Enter: the safety bicycle. With equal-sized wheels (plus air-filled tires and gears), it fed the bicycle fad while also changing the game for women.

Safety bicycle frames accommodated skirts, which got shorter, and the most daring women chose bloomers that resembled men’s pants. A sport corset was designed with elastic for comfort during exercise.

Women could ride bikes to come and go as they pleased, leaving behind Victorian homes and conventions with a new sense of independence.
Cyclists across the country proudly posed with their wheels, like the woman in this 1890s tintype in our @国立アメリカ歴史博物館. #BikeToWorkDay #NationalBikeMonth
