Samantha first rode a bike in the short story “Samantha’s Blue Bike” which was published in American Girl magazine in 1995. The story has her struggling to ride a bike with her long skirts getting caught in the chain, but ends with Grandmary relenting and letting Samantha wear bloomers.

With the invention of the safety bicycle in 1885 (which was lower to the ground and easier to control than the penny farthing), bicycling immediately took off as a popular activity for both men and women. It was a way for the independent “modern woman” to go out by herself and socialize on her own terms. 

(hd version here)

It also brought its own special apparel. It finally brought about the dress reform that women like Amelia Bloomer had been calling for for ages, allowing for comfortable clothing that weren’t as restrictive for women.

Most bicycling outfits were done in dark menswear tweeds to help cover dirt.

but many were worn with an athletic blouse or sweater

Samantha’s first bicycling outfit is colorful, but bicycling suits could be very colorful, if not downright tacky!

(The FIDM Museum)

The second one however, is way more modern peasant blouse than 1904 bicycling outfit. And in the short story, Samantha’s bike is BLUE, why does the toy one have to be so PINK?!
