Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Women gained a significant amount of independence with the invention of the bicycle. This device gave them the freedom to travel outside the home of their own power.  Some opponents felt threatened by this newfound freedom, arguing that cycling would encourage women into prostitution, promiscuity, and lesbianism.Bicycle riding also necessitated more practical clothing for women and led to significant changes to female attire in society. This inspired innovations among Victorian female inventors, who were inspired to create cycling-friendly designs like convertible cycling garments. One individual from the time period watching female cyclists remarked, "It is hard to believe, that they were the same women who went out in the afternoon for the formal carriage parade."Bikes in Space is a series of sci-fi books themed around bicycling and feminism.
