How did those long dresses not get caught in the sprockets?
- The chainguard was invented in 1885, that would probably do the job
- I'm more concerned with physical effort in that corset
  
  I thought that corsets didn't really constrain breathing and that idea was mostly from men deriding women's fashion?
- The bike probably has a chain guard and wheel guard.
Truly a shame that these old skills have gone out of style
Ah. Old school feminism at its finest
NGL that style of bike looks cool AF
- Looks like a Dutch style bike.
Forget horse jousting, I'd like to see bicycle duelling!
- lmao, when I was a kid, me and my friends used to bicycle joust on the road late at night with sticks.
  
  It's a miracle any of us survived to adulthood.
- Have you ever tried bike polo? Add some body armor and let people whack each other with the mallets...
  
  As a larp guy, my immediate thought was foam swords. But the armour is a fine idea.
Why isn't that in the Olympics instead of all the crap we've got nowadays?
