Delightful! Jungnickel goes through a number patents registered by several British women for cycling attire to talk through how the contentious intersection of women, bicycles, and clothes drove certain innovations. As part of the process a team of people figure out how to make the clothing in question (which I LOVED) so my only criticism can possibly be there were not more, larger, colour plates of the clothes. (I know costs...) But! There are a couple videos out there on the internet of at least one of the convertable dresses I am sure.
