About this event
Cycling with the Ghost of Kittie Knox is the electrifying story of an audacious, biracial cyclist who, defying the conventions of 1890s Boston, pedaled fearlessly through prejudice, breaking down societal barriers, redefining the sport of cycling for generations to come.
Meet Kittie a Trailblazer - Literally
Kittie Knox, a fiercely determined African-American cyclist shattered conventions in 19th-century Boston.
She took the male-dominated cycling world by storm, riding 100-mile distances and challenging the status quo. No women rode as far or as fast back then, let alone a black woman. Kittie wore men’s clothing, not the traditional long skirts that women cyclists were wearing at the time and she rode a man’s bike.
She fought bigotry protesting the League of American Wheelmen’s color bar in 1895 by refusing to step down as a member. Kittie's unyielding determination sparked a thrilling revolution for equality and inspired a generation of women to pedal fearlessly. We will meet several of those women from across the U.S. who continue to pedal with The Ghost of Kittie Knox.
