Bicycles are connected both to women’s history and to our climate future. In the late nineteenth century bicycles offered women new freedom and mobility. The popularity of bicycles prompted new fashions for women that were less restrictive, while newly mobilized women prompted social change and expansion of the voting franchise. Today bicycles remain important for women’s mobility, and have become an important centerpiece of carbon-free transportation and the redesign of more livable cities. On International Women’s Day join Alex in Paris to look at some of the ways that this city is moving forward with active transportation.
