Kjirsten Gustavson (front), a museum educator with the state parks department, wears a costume similar to what women would have worn while bicycliing in the 1890s, when the popularity of bikes exploded and gave women a new kind of independence. Gustavson gave a talk on the subject and led a ride through the Saratoga Spa State Park on Saturday, June 24, 2017. (Photo by Steve Barnes/Times Union.)
