Don'ts for women
Loving this old bicycle on display at MOTAT in Auckland. The signs in front of and on it say this - be prepared to be amused:
"don't be a fright,
don't faint on the road
don't wear a man's cap
don't wear tight garters
don't forget your toolbag
don't attempt a century (?)
don't coast - it is dangerous
don't criticize peoples legs
don't boast of your long rides"
and...

"Step through bikes first arrived on the sene in the 1880s. With no top tube a women could ride while wearing a dress. This triumph model is likely from the early 20th century".
Oh how times have changed...
Linking up with Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup.

Times sure have changed. I have a boy´s bike from the hardware store (the girl´s version was of more weight, crazy!).
