| Title |
Associations, Modernity and the Insider-Citizens of a Victorian Highwheel Bicycle Club
|
| Abstract |
The Montreal Bicycle Club (MBC), formed in 1878, is an example of how associations engage in acts of citizenship with codes of conduct and hierarchies. According to the author, MBC members asserted rights-of-use of the road in fierce competition with other road users, exerted political power through Anglo-elite connections in the city, and advocated the virtues of modern technology. He concludes that the MBC presented a category of modern citizens whose purpose was to construct a technologically advanced, but highly structured society according to its masculinist vision.
