Yatman had little to saver her ownership of the Long Island women's century record, as June Lindsay responded with an even longer ride. On October 18, Lindsay completed an 800-mile marathon in 91 hours, 48 minutes. Upon reporting Lindsay's newest feat, the New York Times pointed out that Lindsay's newest feat, the New York Times pointed out that there was no monetary reward for such "useless and necessarily injurious trials of strength" and suggested what the women's motivation might be. "Bitter rivalry, that characteristic feminine trait, and the determination to 'get even' are seemingly the actuating motivates," wrote the Times.

Not surprisingly, Rinehart wasn't afraid to speak her mind. In 1894, she testified at the annual conventional of the Colorado State Medical Society about the benefits of the divided skirt for female cyclists. "It is almost impossible for a lady to ride any distance . . . with the ordinary skirt," she told the mostly male audience. "You get too much of the dress in one side of the wheel, and you do not get enough of the dress on the other side." Rinehart's success brought her a number of product endorsements, including Stearns bicycles, Samson tires, and the Rinehart Skirt, a divided skirt designed in her honor by a seamstress in Denver.

Von Blumen, for one, saw herself as a role model, especially for other females. "I'm presenting myself public, in my bicycle exercises," she told The Bicycling World magazine in 1881, "I feel I am not only offering the most novel and fascinating entertainment now before the people, but am demonstrating the great need of American young ladies, especially, of physical culture and bodily exercise. Success in life depends upon vigorous and healthy body as upon clear and active minds.

Many sustained injuries—at a race in 1881, five of the six female competitors has previously suffered at least one broken arm—but they kept coming back.,

Annie Londonderry wasn't the only one who pushed the limits of time and distance on her two-wheeler. In the late 1890s, several women took the concept of riding a century—100 miles—to the extreme by peeling off two, three, four, or more centuries in a row. Perhaps the greatest female century rider performed outside the spotlight. Dora Rinehart's exploits hardly ever were reported beyond the western United States, where the Colorado native earned the title "America's Greatest Cyclienne." Rinehart took up the bicycle to regain her strength after suffering scarlet fever. She started with short rides, but quickly built up her endurance. In 1896 alone, she pedaled 17,196 miles, more than any other woman in the United States. That included stretches of 10 days in July and 20 days from October 31 through November 19 when she rode a century every day.

Bicycle racing on an indoor track could be a thrilling sport for spectators, who sat outside the oval, so close to the cyclists that they could see their sweat. More than 7,000 people watched the night Frankie Nelson set her 18-hour record in Minneapolis, and a good number of those in the stands were female. "Men go to see what their brothers can do in the way of athletics," the St. Paul Daily Globe pointed out during that race. "Why shouldn't women be interested in their sisters?"
