EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the 1910s, as Indian women in Mumbai, India, receive cycling lessons. The image, filled with a sense of excitement and empowerment, showcases the women in elegant yet practical attire, donning long skirts that have been hiked up to accommodate the bicycles. The women, with determined expressions on their faces, grasp the handlebars with one hand, while the other hand holds the skirt in place to prevent it from getting entangled in the wheels. The bicycle, a symbol of freedom and independence, was a relatively new mode of transport in India during this era. Cycling lessons for women were an innovative way to promote mobility and education for women, who were traditionally confined to their homes. The bicycle also provided an opportunity for women to socialize and engage in physical activity outside their domestic spheres. The setting of the photograph, with its bustling streets of Bombay (now Mumbai), adds to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene. The women's saucy and racy poses, with their skirts billowing in the wind, convey a sense of daring and rebellion. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of Indian women, who embraced new opportunities and challenged societal norms to assert their independence and agency. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the history of women's cycling in India and the role of the bicycle in promoting gender equality and empowerment.
