ABSTRACT
As a result of innovations in bicycle styles and an increase in the number of women cyclists, the medical community and mass media have begun to pay attention to a condition known as " bicycle face". Women were thought to be the main victims of this condition. Many people believe that cycling has other health consequences. This article examined the history of bicycle face, using medical journals from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Europe and the United States as primary sources. Articles from popular journals and secondary sources were also reviewed. On this basis, this study analyzes the discussion of women's cycling-related issues in the medical community, and the cultural and social factors behind them, and examines the interaction between the medical community's attitudes towards women's cycling and social and cultural backgrounds, so as to further enrich the relevant research on women's body history and social history.
