Eric,
Those are great links. We'll be sure to post them on the TRBhealth website
when we do our next update. People tend to forget that bikes were and are a
major source of mobility for the poor. They were the original revolutionary
form of transport in that they enabled working people stranded in the
industrialized inner cities to escape to the healthier rural areas on their
lone days off and WOMEN COULD POWER THEMSELVES WHEREVER THEY WANTED. HG
Wells has a very sweet novella about a hapless shop clerk trying to win the
heart of a woman cyclist. Lots of bruises and scrapes.
Too bad those stats are so old. Is there any eta for updated ones?
RITA rocks!
