Read the excerpt from the introduction to Wheels of

Change

When I was a kid, I took great pleasure in jumping on my

bike and riding to the corner candy store about half a mile

away. Although I had no knowledge of the part the bicycle

had played as a vehicle of change for turn-of-the-20th-

century women, I was acutely aware that it allowed this

1960s girl a unique measure of independence. On my bike,

I could break free of the bonds that held me in my

neighborhood to go buy Necco Wafers and candy

necklaces and Atomic FireBalls. If I felt particularly

adventurous, I could even ride a bit farther for a fresh ice-

cream cone at Applegate Farm
