From Susan B. Anthony in 1896:
"I think [the bicycle] has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives a woman a feeling of freedom and self-reliance."
Hooray for bicycles!
Thanks to the author of A People's History of Sports in the United States (David Zirin) on NPR for mentioning it.
