Evolution of the bicycle from bone shaker to modern cycle
The piece traces early inventions and bans on pedal-less hobbyhorses from 1819 New York to the bone shaker era of French and American makers. It notes Pierre Lallement’s pedal idea in Connecticut, the bone shaker nickname, and the rapid 19th century bicycle evolution with tires, tubes, spokes, brakes, and the vast U.S. patent activity. It highlights the 1890s cycling boom, Lillian Russell’s high wheel appearances, and the eventual shift to the team car as the craze faded.
