Don'ts for women


Loving this old bicycle on display at MOTAT in Auckland. The signs in front of and on it say this - be prepared to be amused:

"don't be a fright,

don't faint on the road

don't wear a man's cap

don't coast - it is dangerous

don't criticize peoples legs

don't boast of your long rides"
