Want to know what an 1885 photo of a wax mannequin on a tricycle tells us about the dress reform movement? Or hear how the residents Malden reacted to the sight of a lady cyclist’s bloomers in 1890? Tune in to The Bike Show on Resonance Radio, Monday 12 March 2012, 6:30-7:00 to hear me discuss these artefacts and other exciting finds from The Women’s Library in an interview about the upcoming “Cycling to Suffrage” exhibit.
This special-themed “How to get more women riding” episode of The Bike Show also features a discussion of current issues in women’s cycling advocacy and safety.
