Original abstract
This article examines women’s cycling in late colonial India (1890s–1940s), exploring how its meanings and possibilities in India were shaped by the racial, social and gendered structures of colonialism. Drawing on visual and literary sources, newspapers, and autobiographical sources, the article shows how women in India navigated constraints of respectability and gender propriety through this technology. Public reactions ranged from ridicule and anxiety to celebration and reformist approval, revealing contradictory interpretations of the female cycling body. The article demonstrates that women’s cycling in India defies binary narratives of emancipation versus restriction, instead revealing the bicycle as a complex site where gender, race, technology and nationalism intersected, producing an uneven terrain of negotiation.
