Re: History of bicycles

Bicycles did NOT revolutionize transportation.

Well, they did for kids, at least in NorAm. Also for people around the world who could not afford cars.

I'm sure I've read a book by an African set in Africa where the very first hint that the outside world was on a collision course with the protagonists was the appearence of a British man on a bicyle.
