He turned away the good old wings that served him many days...

All the puzzles are about bike riding, and can be solved with an easy online search.

The puzzle

During the worldwide bike boom of the 1890s, cycling was seen as an exciting new option for transport taken up eagerly by many people. The craze for cycling in the 1890s is portrayed in the poem Mulga Bill's Bicycle by Australian poet Banjo Paterson, and many other ballads from the time. For women at the time, cycling provided the opportunity of more freedom and being able to wear less restrictive clothing.

Question: What was the less restrictive clothing called? (two words, no spaces)  


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
