To add to the thread..

Bicycles were extremely popular starting somewhere around the 1880s, especially in urban areas with better roadways...

I guess that showed that the human race wanted quicker ways to get somewhere. Some early bicycle makers went on to building early horseless carriages and motorbikes.
