How to Dress for Cycling, 1896

Modesty is becoming at all times, and especially upon a bicycle… A prominent physician advises women cyclists to wear woolen clothing, the head covering light, low shoes, leggings, and no corsets… The Alpine hat is considered the proper head-gear for women. Men should wear a short loose-fitting sack coat of some light woolen material, with knickerbockers to match, woolen stockings, cap, low shoes and a negligee shirt, or if the day is cold, a sweater.
