Few inventions have generated such enthusiasm, encouraged such expectation, or promoted change in so many varied areas. The bicycle has influenced the social, political, and economic life of Toronto’s residents for more than 135 years. After first appearing in Toronto in 1869, it would revolutionize transportation in the city by promising unimagined freedom of travel. It would contribute to better roads, women’s emancipation and the growth of tourism, professional sport and the subsequent development of the motorcycle, automobile, and airplane. And that was before the turn of the 20th century.
