women's rights crusader Elizabeth Cady Stanton was in her eighties during the heyday of the bicycle, and no evidence exists to show that she actually ever rode one. But there was no better or more eloquent advocate for women and the wheel. In 1895, Stanton contributed an article to the American Wheelman celebrating this "wonderful new style of locomotion." In the article, titled "The Era of the Bicycle," she pointed out that cycling was increasing people's mobility, eliminating the cost of feeding and housing horses, and encouraging the building of good roads. However, she saved her greatest praise for the bicycle's effects on women. —Wheels of Change, Sue Macy What is included in this synthesis?
