Elsa Von Blumen: Rochester’s Extraordinary Bicyclist & Suffragette In-Person

Learn about the history of the Rochesterian who, in the 1880s, raced high-wheeled bikes against horses, skaters, male cyclists, and—eventually—a growing number of women cyclists in an era when expectations for women were far different. This unforgettable Rochester athlete succeeded in a sport dominated by men and helped pave the way for other women.

In-person events are contingent on New York State regulations. Please check back for updates.
