| Title |
'We Are No Longer Freaks': The Cyclists' Rights Movement in Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The author discusses the social conditions of Montreal cyclists in relation to a technological revolution beginning in the mid-1860s and the cyclists' rights movement in 1898. According to the author, the cyclists' rights movement was an effort by bicycle riders in Montreal, a large and relatively diverse segment of the city's middle-class — young and old, men and women, Francophones and Anglophones, amateurs and world-class athletes, Catholics, Protestants, and Jews — to rework the legal and environmental contexts of cycling in the city. The author examines cyclists' rights in the context of the bicycle's evolving place in the Montreal, from the movements first appearance in the mid-1860s to its sudden crash into obscurity three decades later.
