- You want hills? We got hills
Wise words indeed, particularly the bit about the bloomers

The changing face of cycling - advice for the female rider of 1895
- Don't boast of your long rides
- Don't cultivate a "bicycle face"
- Don't refuse assistance up a hill
- Don't use bicycle slang. Leave that to the boys
- Don't go out after dark without a male escort
- Don't scratch a match on the seat of your bloomers
- Don't appear in public until you have learned to ride well
- Don't appear to be up on "records" and "record smashing." That is sporty
