    Not that it’s news to us, but it’s a cool article. I learned, for example, that Nazis hated cycling, so if you hate cycling, you must be a Nazi. And Hitler was a bike messenger during WWI, then hated bikes.

    Quote:
    Bicycling itself was a great emancipator. But the organizational brains behind the first motoring organizations and the first cycling organizations, I can hardly name any women who were doing organizational stuff.

    Ha! They didn’t even know what they were missing.

    Somehow I suspect that the only part that will stick is “Hitler was a bike messenger.”
