A rousing invitation to ride into history, reimagined for today's curious rider. A witty, wise companion for beginners and serious readers alike. Maria E. Ward's Bicycling For Ladies is more than an instructional manual; it is a vivid portrait of late nineteenth¿century life, a historical womens guide that blends practical counsel with social insight. The book offers clear training and exercise guidance, practical bicycle care and maintenance, and thoughtful advice on dress reform and safe wheeling. Its tone is practical yet humane, balancing mechanics with morale, risk with resilience, making it accessible to casual readers and to those who cherish period self help guides. This edition is a significant literary and historical artefact, a cornerstone in classics of cycling literature and adjacent cycling manuals. It captures Victorian England's enthusiasm for mobility and independence, while speaking to modern readers with enduring relevance. Alpha Editions restores the voice, preserving the cadence of the era while making it legible and compelling for contemporary aficionados of costume, culture, and cycling. Out of print for decades, it is republished now to honour a forgotten trailblazer and to extend the conversation to new generations. More than a reprint, this is a collector's item and a cultural treasure-an invitation to explore how women reshaped the public road through skill, spirit, and a trusty bicycle. Suitable for both womens cycling beginners and classic-literature collectors.
