Dressing the Lady Cyclist
Tuesday, September 29, 2015
6:30-7:30 pm

When safety bicycles first became available in the 1890s, women happily
participated in the resulting cycling craze. Finding something appropriate
to wear that was functional, modest, and fashionable, however, proved
difficult. Leslie Bellais, Curator of Social History at the Wisconsin
Historical Society, will show in a PowerPoint presentation the obstacles
women had to overcome and a variety of possible solutions offered in the
early days of lady cyclists. Coffee and cookies will be provided.
