The history of women’s rights + fashion + bicycling is fascinating. There seem to be no shortage of videos about it — I was trying to find the one I watched recently but can’t come up with it specifically.

I really enjoyed this one by J. Draper.

hussy

That rake is insane. DHers would be jealous.
