Ridiculous History is a production of IHeart Radio. Welcome back to the show.

Thank you, as always so much for tuning in.

Let's hear it for the man, the myth, the legend, our own Penny Farthing, super producer, Mr. Max Williams.

Max Pennyworth Farthington Williams, the third, Esquire.

That actually isn't too far off from my actual name.

It's an inside joke.

Hey, a stopwatch is right. How many times a day? Once, I guess, yes.

You're Ben.

Well, twice, technically. Twice, damn it! I am Ben Bullitt. You are Mr. Noel Brown.

I'm only just now learning how to tell time. I recently got my first analog watch, and I'm still

struggling with it a little bit. But it's a lot of fun. And we are going to have a lot of fun

with you today, hopefully, fellow ridiculous historians,

we are looking at one of our favorite contraptions ever,

the bicycle and the role it played in women's rights.

I like to ride my bicycle.

I like to ride it where I like.

This is an I-heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

I just got back from a bike ride.

Yeah.

It was nice.

I love a bike.
