Cycling rules for female cyclists

Don’t be a fright
Don’t wear a man’s cap
Don’t forget your tool bag
Don’t coast. It is dangerous
Don’t criticize people’s “legs.”
Don’t cultivate a “bicycle face”
Don’t wear clothes that don’t fit
Don’t wear jewellery while on a tour
Don’t wear laced boots. They are tiresome
Don’t go to church in your bicycle costume
Don’t contest the right of way with cable cars
Don’t wear white kid gloves. Silk is the thing
Don’t use bicycle slang. Leave that to the boys
Don’t without a needle, thread and thimble
Don’t let your golden hair be hanging down your back
Don’t scratch a match on the seat of your bloomers
Don’t appear in public until you have learned to ride well
Let cycling be a recreation, not a labor
Don’t try to ride in your brother’s clothes “to see how it feels”
Don’t cultivate everything that is up to date because you ride a wheel
Don’t undertake a long ride if you are not confident of performing it
easily
Don’t faint on the road
Don’t wear tight garters
Don’t attempt a “century”
Don’t boast of your long rides
Don’t wear loud hued leggings
Don’t refuse assistance up a hill
Don’t neglect a “light’s out” cry
Don’t race. Leave that to the scorchers
Don’t imagine everybody is looking at you
Don’t wear a garden party hat with bloomers
Don’t chew gum. Exercise your jaws in private
Don’t ask, “What do you think of my bloomers?”
Don’t go out after dark without a male escort
Don’t try to have every article of your attire “match”
Don’t allow dear little Fido to accompany you
Don’t discuss bloomers with every man you know
Don’t overdo things
Don’t ignore the laws of the road because you are a woman
Don’t scream if you meet a cow. If she sees you first, she will run
Don’t emulate your brother’s attitude if he rides parallel with the
ground
Don’t appear to be up on “records” and “record smashing.” That is
sporty.
