You all should be ashamed with yourselves because no one has replied solely with "I'd hit it."
Geez....you call yourselves the internet.

Q. Didn’t Susan B. Anthony make some statement about women and the bicycle? I couldn’t find anything about it in “Collecting & Restoring Antique Bicycles” by G. Donald Adams.
A. In reply to your inquiry about the Susan B. Anthony quote, here is the quote in full along with it's source:
“ Let me tell you what I think of bicycling,” Miss Anthony said, leaning forward and laying a slender hand on my arm. “I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel. It gives woman a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. It makes her feel as if she were independent. The moment she takes her seat she knows she can’t get into harm unless she gets off her bicycle, and away she goes, the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.”
--Susan B. Anthony, interviewed by Nellie Bly
New York World, February 2, 1896
Women by that date were taking keen interest in bicycling and in the last half of the decade of the 1890s one-third of the World’s bicycle production was of ladies models.
I'm sure that Mr. G. Donald Adams did not use this quote in his book only because it was not of prime topic for his book's content.

How's this?
