Those bladder-wheeled bicycles are diabolical devices of the demon of darkness

[taterguy]

They are contrivances to trap the feet of the unwary and skin the nose of the innocent. They are full of guile and deceit. When you think you have broken one to ride and subdued its wild and Satanic nature, behold, it bucketh you off in the road and teareth a great hole in your pants.

Unidentified Baltimore preacher in 1896, quoted in a book I just read about cycling. Just thought I'd pass it along.
