Explores the rise of Boston cycling through the lives of participants, including Kittie Knox, a biracial twenty-year-old seamstress who challenged the colour line; Mary Sargent Hopkins, a self-proclaimed expert on women's cycling; and Abbot Bassett, a longtime secretary of the League of American Wheelman. Finison shows how these riders and others interacted on the road and in their cycling clubhouses, often constrained by issues of race, class, religion, and gender.
