Mr. Hoopdriver, an unhappy drapers assistant, takes a ten-day holiday: a bicycle tour of the English countryside. His repeated encounters with a pretty young woman cyclist in bloomers leads to flights of fancy that make this not only one of Wells funniest novels but also gives an early glimpse of the New Woman. Wellss delightful comedy also documents the bicycles liberating impact on social mores.
