“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, 1896
A great quote found via a great article by Elly Blue of BikePortland.org.
A great thought to remember, especially in these economic times. I feel so less anxious about the potential rise in gas prices because I know that I can, and others can, get to where I need to go on my bike. In high heels.
