The chainguard was invented in 1885, that would probably do the job
I'm more concerned with physical effort in that corset
I thought that corsets didn't really constrain breathing and that idea was mostly from men deriding women's fashion?
Depends on the time period. Corset fashion had a period from the early-mid 19th century in which extremely constraining corsets were made of metal, whale bone, and like rigid materials. By the late 19th century, they were mostly fabric and as breathable as any other tight garment, but there was a period in which corsets were genuinely health hazards.
The bike probably has a chain guard and wheel guard.
Truly a shame that these old skills have gone out of style
Ah. Old school feminism at its finest
NGL that style of bike looks cool AF
Looks like a Dutch style bike.
Forget horse jousting, I'd like to see bicycle duelling!
lmao, when I was a kid, me and my friends used to bicycle joust on the road late at night with sticks.
It's a miracle any of us survived to adulthood.
Have you ever tried bike polo? Add some body armor and let people whack each other with the mallets...
As a larp guy, my immediate thought was foam swords. But the armour is a fine idea.
Motocross armor would work fine
Would work, though I wouldn't say I'd be too big of a fan of the aesthetic. If on the other hand the contestants would be in chain mail or plate mail, that'd be bloody neat.
Why isn't that in the Olympics instead of all the crap we've got nowadays?
