Read the excerpt from Chapter 2 of Wheels of Change. Maria E. Ward, author of the 1896 how-to book Bicycling for Ladies, characterized the promise of the wheel in glowing terms: "A bright, sunny morning, fresh and cool; good roads and a dry atmosphere; a beautiful country before you, all your own to see and enjoy; a properly adjusted wheel awaiting you, what more delightful than to mount and speed away." What is the viewpoint expressed in this quotation?

The most likely answer for this question is that the viewpoint expressed is that Ward supports women riding bicycles. In this excerpt, Ward presents an image of joy, relaxation and peace when she describes how women can begin to ride bikes. She talks about the nice weather that women can enjoy, the beautiful countryside that they can see and the delight that they might experience when riding. All of these comments imply that Ward wants women to ride bikes.
