Women's rights crusader Elizabeth Cady Stanton was in her eighties during the heyday of the bicycle, and no
evidence exists to show that she actually ever rode one.
But there was no better or more eloquent advocate for
women and the wheel. In 1895, Stanton contributed an
article to the American Wheelman celebrating this
"wonderful new style of locomotion." In the article, titled
"The Era of the Bicycle," she pointed out that cycling was
increasing people's mobility, eliminating the cost of
feeding and housing horses, and encouraging the
building of good roads. However, she saved her greatest
praise for the bicycle's effects on women.
