Author David MCcullough in his book, The Wright Brothers, chronicles that in the 1890s, “Bicycles were proclaimed morally hazardous. ..Until now children and youth were unable to stray very far from home on foot. Now, one magazine warned, fifteen minutes could put them miles away. Because of bicycles, it was said, young people were not spending the time they should [reading] and ... tours on bicycles were ‘not infrequently accompanied by seductions.’”
And of course, before bicycles, the wheel had to be invented. Therefore the invention of the wheel has to be the root cause of most of our current problems. So when anyone asks you to explain any of your shortcomings–blame it on the invention of the wheel.
