Things are really connected to each other.

For example: The bicycle was first created in Germany with no pedals and other complicated machinery, it was dubbed as a Laufmaschine or a running machine, all you need to do to make it move and stop was leg power… The Flinstones’ way. Since there were so many accident reports, it was banned. The idea was moved to London and it soon became the ‘Penny-Farthing.’ It was named like that because the the front wheel, with the pedal, was so large about 1.5 meter and the small hind wheel was like 1/10th of the large one. It looks like the penny and the farthing side by side.

The Penny-Farthing was marketed into US, but it never worked out. Later, a new design was held: The front wheel shrunk and the hind wheel inflated to form equal spheres, and attached was the pedals on the center and the chains.

The structure instilled an idea of very comfortable riding, thus influencing women to ride, and thus demanding for more comfortable clothes and thus women suffrage…..

Then thats it. You know the drill.(more)
