EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases the Atlanta Cycling Club of New Zealand, a pioneering group of women who embraced the exhilarating and liberating world of cycling. The image, published in The New Zealander, a leading newspaper of the time, captures the spirit of athleticism and camaraderie that defined this innovative women's cycling club. The women, dressed in practical yet stylish attire, don hats to shield themselves from the sun as they gather around their bicycles. Each woman holds her cycle with a sense of pride and accomplishment, reflecting the growing popularity of cycling as a sport for women. The bicycles, with their large wheels and high handlebars, were a testament to the technological advancements of the time, allowing women to explore the outdoors and experience a newfound sense of freedom. The Atlanta Cycling Club was part of a larger trend of women's athletic clubs that emerged during the Victorian era, challenging societal norms and paving the way for future generations of female athletes. The photograph serves as a reminder of the determination and resilience of these early women athletes, who defied expectations and embraced the thrill of outdoor sport. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era of innovation, exploration, and the emergence of women's athleticism. The Atlanta Cycling Club of New Zealand stands as a testament to the enduring power of sport to bring people together and inspire change.
