Why do Women’s Bike Frames Have a Dropped Crossbar?

June 24, 2017 by Average Joe Cyclist

A woman’s bike was expected to have a dropped, or diagonal, cross-support, rather than the horizontal one of a man’s bike, in order to mitigate the issue of the raised leg. This came with the secondary, if dubious, benefit of allowing a lady to ride more easily in a full dress. This person was Alice Austen, one of the first female photographers, and a strong advocate for women cyclists (Alice Austen House)

Most people assume that crossbars were dropped on women’s bikes to make it possible to ride with dresses. However, the primary reason was more scandalous than that! This post traces the design history of bikes with dropped crossbars, and reveals the surprising recent change in the gendered association of the dropped crossbar.

How the Bicycle Became a Symbol for Women’s Emancipation

April 10, 2017 by Average Joe Cyclist

How the Bicycle Became a Symbol for Women’s Emancipation. It was feared that riding a bicycle would deprive a woman of her moral center and lead her into hedonistic lesbianism (the horror!) as she developed and embraced her femininity outside the control of good virtuous men
Pin
Share
Tweet

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, women began to escape some of their restrictions by riding bicycles. Despite strong opposition from men, women cycled on, and the bicycle became an instrument of change that subverted the status quo and became a powerful symbol of women’s emancipation. In this Guest Post, Andrew McLaughlin tells us all about the extraordinary role played by bicycles in women’s emancipation.
