Let's celebrate International Womens Day 2019 with young Daisy M'ouat! At thirteen years old, in 1896, she rode from Ballarat to Stawell with her dad. Thats 75 miles, or 120 kms. She completed the ride in twelve hours, including rest breaks, although a couple of days later the return ride took her only ten. Maybe she'd been inspired by Tessie Reynolds in the UK and her 1893 Brighton to London record as a sixteen year old? Like Tessie, Daisy wore rational dress and rode a man's frame so that she would have a lighter bike without the extra weight of chain and dress guards. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #awiderworld #womenscycling #cyclinghistory #babesonbikes #ridelikeagirl #touringwithasenseofurgency #babesridebikes #chickfietst #womenscycling #sherides #girlsonbikes #wheelwomen #strongher #shestoke #womenaus #vicwomen #vicwomentrailblazers #inspiringwomen #IWD2019 #internationalwomensday #Balanceforbetter #slv #slvcollection
