“Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel…the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.” ---Susan B. Anthony
“Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.” H.G. Wells
