read the excerpt from the introduction to wheels of
change
when i was a kid, i took great pleasure in jumping on my
bike and riding to the corner candy store about half a mile
away. although i had no knowledge of the part the bicycle
had played as a vehicle of change for turn-of-the-20th-
century women, i was acutely aware that it allowed this
1960s girl a unique measure of independence. on my bike,
i could break free of the bonds that held me in my
neighborhood to go buy necco wafers and candy
necklaces and atomic fireballs. if i felt particularly
adventurous, i could even ride a bit farther for a fresh ice-
cream cone at applegate farm
