Summary/Abstract: This article represents a survey of the bicycling trend among women from the final decades of the 19thcentury, when the first bicycles and the first cyclists (including women) appeared, up to the contemporary era, in which the trend toward bicycle chic dominates city life. The author demonstrates that changes in bicycling trends have been closely linked with the progress toward emancipation, and how developments in bicycle chic reflect social attitudes towards women.
