From Bijker's _Of bicycles, bakelites and bulbs_:
"One summer evening my parents rode ten miles to dine at Six Mile Bottom; their evening clothes were arranged in cases on the handlebars; for of course you couldn't possibly dine without dressing. (Raverat, 1952: 86)"
And on what we would consider to be crappy roads, no doubt.
