Bicycle - The bone-shaker

Time: 1870

Place: U.S.

Details: The bone-shaker, the common name for the bicycle in America back then, enjoyed only a brief period of popularity in the United States, which ended by 1870. There is debate among bicycle historians about why it failed in the United States, but one explanation is that American road surfaces were much worse than European ones, and riding the machine on these roads was simply too difficult.
