By the way. It's perhaps good now to take a look to a piece reality,

Best invention of the 19th century:

1817 Karl von Drais + 1863 Pierre Michaux + 1885 John Kemp Starley + 1888 John Boyd Dunlop + 1900 Fichtel und Sachs and many others.

"It is a peculiar fact in the history of the bicycle that almost all improvements had to be invented twice, and sometimes three times, before they came into general use."
Ludwig Croon

The girl's bicycle?

The girl's bicycle?

Yes, the girl's bicycle is an invention of the 19th century. I personally drove in my life nearly always only girl's bicycles on pragmatic reasons.

Two quotes:

#1
In den 1890er Jahren wurde das Fahrrad zum Symbol der Neuen Frau, die unabhängig und fortschrittlich war und politische Teilhabe forderte. In „Godey’s“, der damals wichtigsten Frauenzeitschrift der USA, hieß es: „Für die Tochter des 19. Jahrhunderts ist der Besitz eines Fahrrads ihre Unabhängigkeitserklärung.“

#2
Fast jeder konnte das Radfahren erlernen, und fast jeder tat es. Der Sultan von Sansibar fuhr mit dem Rad. Der Zar von Russland ebenfalls. Der Amir von Kabul kaufte Fahrräder für seinen gesamten Harem.

source: Wie das Fahrrad die Welt revolutionierte

Translation:

#1
In the 1890s, the bicycle became the symbol of the New Woman, who was independent, progressive and demanded political participation. "Godey's," the most important women's magazine in the U.S. at the time, stated, "For the 19th century daughter, owning a bicycle is her declaration of independence."


#2
Almost anyone could learn to ride a bicycle, and almost everyone did. The sultan of Zanzibar rode a bicycle. So did the tsar of Russia. The Amir of Kabul bought bicycles for his entire harem.

I found this interesting.


This man wrote a book called "project mars"
It was about going to mars lol.
Project Mars: A Technical Tale takes place in 1980, thirty years in the future. The world is governed by the United States of Earth, established after a devastating war in the 1970s between the Western Powers and the Eastern Bloc (the Soviet Union and its satellite states as well as Communist China and its satellites). The West won the conflict with the aid of Lunetta, an orbiting space station that dropped nuclear missiles on the Soviet Union.[a] Soon after peace is declared, a reflecting telescope on Lunetta confirms the existence of canals on Mars, vindicating Percival Lowell's assertion that intelligent life exists on the planet. The President orders a mission to Mars to establish just how intelligent the Martians are and whether they pose a threat to Earth.

Of course, the martians leaders name is none other than Elon. Elons father, named his son this because of this book. And it just so freakin happens, that same person is the biggest proponent of colonizing mars on the planet.
