Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ice skating was a popular winter pastime for both men and women in colonial America, particularly in the northern colonies where the weather was conducive to frozen ponds and rivers. Women were known to participate in ice skating competitions and races, as well as recreational skating. Horse racing was also popular, but it was predominately a male activity and women were not typically allowed to participate. Barrel racing and bike racing did not exist during the colonial period as those sports require specialized equipment that had not yet been invented.
