1916, woman rides to work on her scooter

Post by Mary Somerville »

I kid you not.
“Lady Florence Norman, a suffragette, on her motor-scooter in 1916, travelling to work at offices in London where she was a supervisor. The scooter was a birthday present from her husband, the journalist and Liberal politician Sir Henry Norman.”

Very bad form - no helmet! And, even worse, her center stand is down and firmly planted on the pavement!
