Women weren't allowed to ride a bicycle. It was considered indecent to ride. Women in the early 1900's weren't allowed to wear pants nor show their ankles.

One enterprising bicycle maker made a tricycle for women to ride in places like a park or in their backyard. Women were required to maintain a certain level of proper behavior at all times.
