It's crazy how humanity invented bicycles and decided to try it with one big wheel and one small wheel BEFORE they tried having two wheels the same size
This is not quite true, though it would be very funny if it was.
The classic "old bicycle" we're all thinking of, which looked like this:
Is actually a technological compromise developed in the early 1870s. The very first bicycle was invented in 1817 and it looked like this:
It had no pedals and the rider would push it along with their feet, the same way toddlers learn to ride bikes today.
In about 1864, a mechanic in france came up with the idea of adding pedals to the front wheel, making the first self-propelled bicycle.
This was a great improvement because it's a lot easier to move and a lot more fun than the Fisher Price version above. It was a big thing for about five years, but there were some drawbacks.
First, because the pedals were directly attached to the front wheel, you couldn't go very fast without moving your legs incredibly quickly, which takes a lot of effort. It also is kind of awkward to steer because your legs are in the way of the wheel.
The other issue was bumps. Roads were not very smooth in the 1870s, most of them were unpaved and full of ruts, potholes, and rocks. And at first there were no rubber tires, just wooden wheels with metal rims. Altogether this made for a very bumpy ride.
The big front wheel, which was made possible by the invention of wire spokes and solid rubber tires, solved all of these problems. A big wheel runs over bumps more easily: think of how rough it is to ride roller skates over bumps in a sidewalk that you would hardly notice on a bike. And the bigger the wheel, the faster you can move with one push of the pedals. Having the seat on top of the wheel, instead of behind, also makes steering less cumbersome.
There are of course drawbacks to this design, in particular being so high up makes it very easy to go over the handlebars if you crash, and more likely to hit your head or break your arm.
Two more inventions helped drive this comical beast into extinction and bring back a more balanced, and safer, bicycle.
The first was the pneumatic tire, which contains a cushion of air, and makes for a much softer ride compared to a solid tire or a metal one. The cushion effect eliminates the need for a big wheel to smooth out the bumps in the road.
The second invention was the sprocket and chain drive. This lets you put the pedals anywhere you want on the bike, and with a big gear at the pedals and a small one at the wheel, you can get more speed out of a small wheel.
The first modern bicycle to combine a sprocket and pneumatic tires was built in 1879. It was an instant hit, not just because it was much less dangerous, but because the low drag profile and the smooth pneumatic tires made for a faster ride, and the trendsetters in cycling, then as now, were the racing community. There have been plenty of innovations and modifications in the years since, from ten-speed gears to carbon fiber frames, but these are all variations on a theme. The basic form of the bicycle has not changed.
Happy riding.
Okay full disclosure I was high as a kite when I made this post, otherwise I might have fact-checked my joke before posting, but this is awesome. Thank you for the bicycle lore.
There’s nothing feminist or progressive about comparing a woman who supports women's shelters to a violent criminal.
TRAs act just like MRAs. They’ve never been this loud about Neil Gaiman, Johnny Depp, Andrew Tate, P. Diddy, Marilyn Manson, Epstein, R. Kelly, or Bill Cosby
funnily enough i've never seen one tra talk shit on any of the men listed, but they love talking about jkr and how she's the trans antichrist for supporting women's rights or something
I didn’t know JK Rowling physically assaulted or raped men, you know, like Andrew Tate has done to countless women.
Wait is that the real George Takei ? Holy shit that's depressing.
He's literally compared women campaigning for our sex based rights to Japanese internment camps. He is a known misogynist.
Also, she has created a beloved fantasy world that has encouraged millions of children worldwide to love reading while he creates slop that illiterate boys glued to ipads all day consume and regurgitate without thinking...

Swimming tips if you find yourself wanting to swim in a river and you've not done it before.
I just read that 9 people of which 7 children died in drowning-related accidents in Great Britain. As someone who has been swiming in rivers (very cold and fast ones) since I was seven years old, I want to give a few tips and I hope this post gets spread on tumblr so more people see it: 1. Never go swimming in a river on the first hot day. Wait at least 5 days. I know, it's annoying if you live in a country where hot days are rare but the temperature of the water is still too cold and has to heat up, Equally if it has rained you have to wait again. If you notice your lips are getting blueish - get out immediately because that is your limit and you are heading towards hypotermia.
2. Do not under any circumstances JUMP into the river, even if its a safe location or a pier if you are only getting into the water. Your body will get a shock from cold water and you will have serious issues getting out of the water. We called this "to harden/adjust yourself". Walk into the water slowly, wait a few minutes and then take the water and wash yourself with it slowly, then plunge your body (not your head though) into it. Now you have adjusted your body more to the temperature of the water and can swim. Should you feel anything weird like your chest constricting a lot, get out and try again slowly.
3. No swimming between 13:00-15:00 on really hot days. Just because you are in water does not mean you cannot get a heatstroke (you'd have to drink constantly while swimming). Swim early in the morning and early noon and use the 13-15 period to cool off and lounge at the beach (not in direct sunlight, if you swim in rivers there are often willow trees one can put your towel under and relax) 4. No jumping into rapids, I nearly drowned as a child because of this. If you are being dared and are not a good swimmer, don't do it, you will die. If you are confindent of your swimming, dive a few meters ahead of the rapid, break the surface quickly and let the water carry you downstream (this is only for small rapids, do not fuck around with big ones unless you've been doing it all your life) 5. Do not attempt to swim to the other side no matter how small a river if it is the first time swimming there. You need to know how the river goes and if you really want to swim to the other side make a plan. Swim ahead in the quiet part of the river and once you are reaching the faster running middle let the water carry you downstream, gather some energy (you have to know how to float!!!) and then use that energy to get out of the current and to the shore. Rest before attempting to go back.
6. Don't drink and swim, we did this as teens and a we lost classmates due to it. Never swim alone and always keep an eye on your friends.
7. Don't jump into the water in your clothes, dresses or anything that can get heavy fast and drag you under. I learned this the hard way when I didn't take off my towel and had it wrapped around my shoulders and it got so heavy that I nearly went under with it.
8. If someone is drowning - get help, don't try to rescue them yourself and especially not by swimming directly at them, they will be panicking and drag you under and you will both die. If you are drowning, try not to panic, try floating, if people are trying to rescue you directly try floating and allowing them to get you to the shore. The more you panic the worse it will be. 9. Last tip which is a bit specific but if you are trying to dive keep your eyes open underwater and if by any chance you are swimming in rivers with that has caves or tufa structures DO NOT DIVE AROUND THEM or inside. It is not safe, you can drown.
Ok that is all I could remember, stay safe, stay warm and happy swimming. PS. This is tips specifically for a bit narrower, faster mountain type rivers. If someone has more tips for swimming in wider "slower" rivers that have a muddy bottom, please share with us.
This is so interesting. I grew up swimming in flat, slow-moving, brackish rivers with far more mud on the banks and bottom than stone or sand, so reading about mountain type rivers is fascinating and super helpful!
The rivers I grew up swimming in (Chesapeake Bay region) have fewer rock or cave hazards, and, while tidal, their tides are pretty weak. But they still have their dangers. For example:
Submerged debris. The water is extremely murky from tannins and sediment, so you usually can't tell a hazard is there until you step on it. I've stepped on horseshoe crab tails, old trash, and barnacle-encrusted logs plenty of times before. Not fun!
The rivers here are really shallow, so you can usually walk across them, especially at low tide. But as OP said, think before you try to cross. The river is always wider than it looks.
However, some of the silt and rotting vegetation at the bottom can create unexpected patches of mud that can cause you to sink several inches while walking. It definitely causes a mini heart attack when you're not expecting it, but don't panic. With the mud here (this will not apply everywhere!), you can just swim forward with your arms to get your balance and get past the muddy area. You won't find much purchase in the mud itself.
If your "friends" take you out on a boat and start drinking like mine did....do NOT drink with them. Ever. You will be called a nerd and a fun sponge and a wet blanket and you won't care. Drinking while boating is one of the leading causes of drowning here. It's not that boaters crash in the same way land vehicle drivers; it's that they go for a swim or fall off and never resurface.
Not specific to my area at all: if you start to feel a little tired, go to shore. Don't keep building up exhaustion while you're in the water!
saw that post where the op is like “i don’t give a fuck if the word queer upsets you, i HOPE my identity upsets you” and hundreds of ppl in the notes are rbing and tagging it with “queer as in fuck you” and it struck me that this phrase used to be gay people saying fuck you to straights who called them queer to hurt them and it’s now straight people saying fuck you to gay people who are hurt by the word queer. “queer as in fuck you” has been successfully reclaimed by the straight community
Are you secretly a terf?? Use this quiz to find out!
Coined in 2008 by transgender activist Viv Symthe, a terf is a trans exclusionary radical feminist. Many people fear, and hate, terfs...but what if the enemy is closer than you think? Is everything you were told about terf true? Here is an accurate quiz, made by a terf, to find out if YOU might be a secret terf ;)
Tell me your results!
i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.
II'm in my 20s and still regularly see my mum naked after showers or when helping her gey changed. As she does me. This is about as sexual as making a cup of tea or doing the washing, e.g. a normal part of daily life.
I'm in agreement, as I regularly saw my mother naked after taking a shower, despite the fact that the entire family scolded her for it. However, it was her example that made me feel comfortable with my genitals, breasts, and overall female body, and I didn't feel "wrong" about going topless or wearing just my underwear at home. Thanks to her, I can even go out to the courtyard in my underwear, because she taught me that there's nothing "wrong" with a woman's body, and I don't feel embarrassed to wear a top when our male neighbors walk around with their chests exposed and in their underwear
No one has died from their bodies, and no one will die from ours lol
Saw this posted on someone else's tumblr but they had me blocked which is unfortunate cause it's correct and true.
We need more lesbian content in general that’s actually made for (and by) women. Like I’m so tired of seeing some scrote’s masturbatory fantasy of how women love and fuck each other that’s clearly intended to titillate other men 😐
