Ward is a practical guide on cycling specifically designed for women, written in the late 19th century. The book explores the benefits of bicycling as a sport and means of transportation, while also addressing the unique challenges faced by female cyclists. It covers essential topics such as mechanics, proper attire, exercise, and training, aiming to equip women with the knowledge needed to confidently partake in this increasingly popular activity. The opening of the book introduces the topic of bicycling as a modern sport with immense potential for enjoyment and health benefits. The author discusses the advantages of cycling, including its ability to cover distances much more efficiently than walking and the exhilarating sense of freedom it provides. Ward emphasizes the need for women to approach cycling intelligently, considering the mechanical and physiological aspects of the activity to ensure safety and well-being.
