1. A List of Don'ts for Women on Bicycles circa 1895

    If things go well I might be showing her my bicycle face …

    nevver:

    • Don’t be a fright.
    • Don’t faint on the road.
    • Don’t wear a man’s cap.
    • Don’t wear tight garters.
    • Don’t forget your toolbag
    • Don’t attempt a “century.”
    • Don’t coast. It is dangerous.
    • Don’t boast of your long rides.
    • Don’t criticize people’s “legs.”
    • Don’t wear loud hued leggings.
    • Don’t cultivate a “bicycle face.”
    • Don’t refuse assistance up a hill.
    • Don’t wear clothes that don’t fit.
    • Don’t neglect a “light’s out” cry.
    • Don’t wear jewelry while on a tour.
    • Don’t race. Leave that to the scorchers.
    • Don’t wear laced boots. They are tiresome.
    • Don’t imagine everybody is looking at you.
    • Don’t scream if you meet a cow. If she sees you first, she will run.
