自行车是晚清从域外传入的舶来品,随着当时各类新式传媒的宣传推广,中国人渐渐认识了自行车的代步功能,自行车专卖店与维修店也在都市出现。在当时强国强种的语境下,自行车的代步功能被添加了强身的元素,甚至与女性健体生育强壮后代联系起来。 Bicycles were imported from the outside world in the late Qing dynasty. With the promotion of all kinds of new media at that time, the Chinese gradually came to know the bicycle transport functions and bicycle stores and repair shops also appeared in the cities. In the context of the mighty powers at the time, bicycle mobility was added with physical elements, even linked to the strong offspring of female fitness.
