Answer:
In the 1890s, riding a bicycle in traditional clothing could be hazardous to a woman's health.
This combination of a shortened dress and flowing trousers became known as the Bloomer costume.
<em>"Taken together, these floor-length petticoats and the dress that covered them could weigh 25 pounds—even more when the unfortunate woman got caught in a rainstorm. Plus they were unsanitary. During a casual stroll, an unsuspecting fashion plate could pick up cigar ends, cigarette butts, discarded food, tiny insects, and animal droppings as her clothing swept the ground."</em>
In this excerpt from Wheels of change we can see that the clothing in the times for women were dangerous and started to change because it was easier for them to dress different so they could ride a bike.

As a result of this, we can see that the ironic thing is that the Summoner is supposed to be a church excommunicator who is sent by the Archdeacon to expunge people who committed offences against the doctrines of the church but he was willing to accept a bribe so that he would not do his job.
