Therese's ardent dream was to possess a bicycle, and she desired one the more since her parents stubbornly refused to content her, declaring in fact that those machines might do for bourgeois but were certainly not fit for well-behaved girls.
Le rêve passionné de Thérèse était d’avoir une bicyclette, surtout depuis que ses parents la lui refusaient avec obstination, déclarant ces machines-là bonnes pour les bourgeois, pas convenables pour les filles honnêtes.

We know that the stability of a body in motion, such as a top or a bicycle, ceases to be possible when its velocity of rotation descends below a certain limit.
On sait que la stabilité d'un corps en mouvement, tel qu'une toupie ou une bicyclette, cesse d'être possible quand sa vitesse de rotation descend au-dessous d'une certaine limite.

But the abominable thing was that, on this occasion, Gregoire, having seated Therese on his own bicycle, was supporting her at the waist and running alongside, helping her to direct the machine.
