EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sitting women with cycles," dates back to 1905 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of physical education for women during the early 20th century. The image, sourced from the Bedford College Archives held at Mary Evans Prints Online, shows a group of women students engaged in an unconventional yet progressive activity. The women, dressed in simple yet practical attire, are seated in a circle, each one holding a bicycle. The bicycles, with their large wheels and high handlebars, were a symbol of freedom and independence for women at the time. The setting is likely the Physical Education department of a college or school, reflecting the growing emphasis on the importance of fitness and health for women. Physical education for women was a relatively new concept in 1905, and the use of bicycles as a means of exercise was a popular trend. Cycling allowed women to build strength, improve flexibility, and increase their endurance, all while enjoying the fresh air and the sense of adventure that came with riding a bicycle. The women in the photograph appear to be deep in conversation, their expressions suggesting a sense of camaraderie and shared experience. The bicycles, once a symbol of liberation and modernity, now serve as a reminder of the important role that physical education played in shaping the lives of women during this period. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of education and the transformative impact it can have on individuals and societies. It invites us to reflect on the progress that has been made in women's education and physical health over the past century and to celebrate the achievements of the women who came before us.
