Download or read book Bike Battles written by James Longhurst and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have been riding bikes for more than a century now. So why are most American cities still so ill-prepared to handle cyclists? James Longhurst, a historian and avid cyclist, tackles that question by tracing the contentious debates between American bike riders, motorists, and pedestrians over the shared road. Bike Battles explores the different ways that Americans have thought about the bicycle through popular songs, merit badge pamphlets, advertising, films, newspapers and sitcoms. Those associations shaped the actions of government and the courts when they intervened in bike policy through lawsuits, traffic control, road building, taxation, rationing, import tariffs, safety education and bike lanes from the 1870s to the 1970s. Today, cycling in American urban centers remains a challenge as city planners, political pundits, and residents continue to argue over bike lanes, bike-share programs, law enforcement, sustainability, and public safety. Combining fascinating new research from a wide range of sources with a true passion for the topic, Longhurst shows us that these battles are nothing new; in fact they’re simply a continuation of the original battle over who is - and isn’t - welcome on our roads.

Download or read book Bike Journal Correspondents written by Lost Century of Sports Collection and published by The Lost Century of Sports Collection. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cycling fad in the late 19th century spawned journals aimed at the growing masses of men and women on wheels. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series features a lively rivalry between writers in two prominent cycling journals, The Bicycling World & L.A.W. Bulletin (founded in 1878) and The Wheel and Cycling Trade Review (founded in 1888). Cycling was in the midst of a transition from tricycles to the high-wheel “ordinary” to the modern two-wheel "safety" bicycle. The 174 articles (126,000 words) written by correspondents in this volume often resemble the 19th-century version of social media trolling. Many writers used pseudonyms or their League of American Wheelmen badge numbers rather than their real names. Bylines include Helen Grey, Violet Lorne, and Lillias Campbell Davidson, as well as pennames “Psyche,” “Pioneer,” “Caviler,” “Wildflower,” and “Pony,” all confirmed to be women. A handful of writings by men are also included as they instigate or pertain to the discussions between the women. Among the primary topics was women's attire, which led to the invention of the "drop-frame” (later known as a “girl’s bike”) to accommodate long skirts, but hems still got caught in the chains and gears. Dress reform and the adoption of bloomers and knickerbockers became a heated controversy debated in several articles. Women's cycling mirrored societal changes, reflecting broader shifts in women's roles and expectations for the “New Woman” in the Victorian Era. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.

Download or read book Ambitious Bicycle Tours written by Lost Century of Sports Collection and published by The Lost Century of Sports Collection. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most impactful features of the bicycle in the late 19th century was its expansion of travel opportunities off the beaten path. The articles and books (104,000 words) in this volume of the Sports She Wrote series are a blend of travelogue and cycling adventures, capturing the essence of wheeled touring through women's narratives. Their accounts describe the complexities of long-distance cycling through native and foreign lands and depict the cultures encountered along the way, providing pioneering guidebooks for fellow cyclists to follow and valuable advice for women awheel. Bicycling evolved in the 1890s beyond mere transportation into a source of newfound independence for women, a means of exploration and adventure according to the rider’s own schedule, enabling enthusiasts to tour areas inaccessible by railroads, free from stagecoach lines and mass transit constraints, without the cost and maintenance responsibilities of a horse. This new mobility sparked a social movement for road infrastructure improvements, which were essential to the forthcoming automobile era. The initial section features articles and illustrations from 1896 to 1898, including Margaret Valentine Le Long's remarkable solo journey from Chicago to San Francisco. This is followed by two books by Fanny Bullock Workman and her husband William Workman. Their literary contributions, Algerian Memories (1895) and Sketches Awheel in Modern Iberia (1897), including dozens of Fanny's photographs, provide visual and narrative journeys through North Africa and Spain. Fanny was a New Woman and an advocate for women’s suffrage. She was also a noted mountain climber and her book In the Ice World of Himalaya is featured in the Mountaineering volume of the Sports She Wrote series. These narratives celebrate the bicycle's role in alternative vacation options for active men and women, leaving a lasting impact on late 19th-century women's cycling history in America and around the world. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.

Download or read book Bicycle Days 1896 1900 written by Lost Century of Sports Collection and published by The Lost Century of Sports Collection. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the Sports She Wrote series completes the nine-volume chronological journey of 19th century cycling articles written by women. By the end of the century, the bicycling craze transitioned from a fleeting fad into a deeply ingrained aspect of American culture. Bicycles were no longer mere novelties but essential methods of transportation for the masses, sources of physical exercise, and vehicles for leisure and sports. Forty-eight articles (102,000 words) authored by dozens of women writers and 38 illustrations from 20 periodicals offer insightful discourse on the state and development of women’s cycling. These articles offer a multifaceted exploration of various cycling topics, reflecting the evolving attitudes and practices surrounding the sport. The final cycling article, published in 1900, is emblematic of the progress made and the future prospect for athletic cycling, focusing on women’s “fancy riding,” now known as trick riding. This volume includes the comprehensive book “Bicycling for Ladies,” written by Maria E. Ward, published in 1896. With 34 accompanying photographs, Ward's book serves as a testament to the vibrancy and diversity of cycling culture during this pivotal period in history. In addition to the basics of riding, Ward provides detailed instructions for maintenance and repair of bicycles and demonstrates how to use the necessary tools that many women of the era were unaccustomed to using. The volume concludes with a foretaste of the future penned by Mary Sargent Hopkins, whose cycling articles are featured in several volumes of this series, but in this case introduces readers to a new wheeled contraption destined to revolutionize independent transportation—the automobile. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.
