Bicycle Hockey: A Thrilling and Unconventional Pastime for Women in the 1890s This photograph captures a moment in time when bicycle hockey, an exhilarating adaptation of the traditional polo game, was gaining popularity among women during the height of the cycling craze in the late 1890s. The image showcases a group of determined and spirited girls skillfully maneuvering their bicycles on a makeshift hockey field. Dressed in long skirts and blouses, the girls expertly wield mallets, poised to strike the small rubber ball as they race towards their opponents. Their bicycles, adorned with wicker baskets and streamers, add a touch of elegance and whimsy to the scene. The girls' intense focus and competitive spirit are evident in their expressions, as they fiercely compete for the ball and strive to outmaneuver their opponents. Bicycle hockey provided a unique and unconventional outlet for women to engage in physical activity and challenge themselves in a sporting context during a time when such opportunities were limited. The sport offered a sense of freedom and excitement, as well as an opportunity to showcase their athleticism and skill. This photograph is a testament to the determination and resilience of these early sportswomen, who defied societal norms and embraced the thrill of competition on two wheels. The image transports us back to a bygone era, when the simple joy of riding a bicycle and playing a game with friends could bring such delight and excitement.
