As a cyclist and spinning professional, this story is inspirational!
Shalawam sister, Wonderful video forgive me for not commenting last night I had a lot going on
Bicycles have always been a bit upsetting to conservatives, I bet they didn't like this one bit!
Here in UK, bicycles were resented for liberating "the help". the servant classes, who could not afford to run a horse, could go visit their nearby family without being dependent on their masters. And similarly, women would scandalise society by wearing plus fours rather than a suitably modest long skirt.
Very informative.
