There is a lady cyclist article on the Beeb website today, apparently women are scared of potholes and lorries. I'm with them!

Well quite.
The article says why women report that they don't cycle. It doesn't say anything about why men don't cycle and if their reasons are different from women.

I have questions.
I would love some examples of the bicycle slang I am not supposed to use from 1895.
What the hell are those bloomers made of that you could strike a match on them? Was women's skin actually made of asbestos back in the day?

They could. Just had to make every ride private.

I guess tweed or canvas. Matches can be struck on a variety of surfaces. providing there's enough friction to generate some heat.

Bloomers are strangely missing from this otherwise comprehensive list
