The 'Boneshaker' or Bicycle of 1868 - A Glimpse into the Adventurous Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving takes us back to the late 19th century, a time when bicycles were still in their infancy. The image showcases an iconic piece of cycling history - the "Boneshaker" bicycle. With its large front wheel, solid frame, and wooden wheels, this early form of transportation was not for the faint-hearted. The illustration captures a young boy confidently riding this remarkable contraption while his friends cheer him on. It is a testament to the spirit of adventure and exploration that defined this era. In those days, cycling was not just a means of transport but also a thrilling sport enjoyed by both men and women. The presence of a female cyclist in the picture challenges traditional gender roles, highlighting how even at such an early stage in its development, cycling provided opportunities for women to break free from societal constraints. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are reminded of how far bicycles have come since then. Today's sleek designs and advanced technologies owe much to these pioneering two-wheeled machines. This enchanting artwork serves as a reminder that every innovation has humble beginnings. It invites us to appreciate our modern-day bikes while paying homage to those who paved the way for our love affair with cycling.
