From The Journal (New York, 1896):

"The world is bicycle mad. Man, woman, and child--the population of Christendom--is awheel. The church? It is forgotten. The Sabbath? A cycling day. The theatre? Old-fashioned fun. The horse? Token and companion of gentlemanhood, a hack, browsing on the highway. Jewels? Watches? Clothing? The men who carried on those industries have turned their machinery to the making of rubber tires and ball bearings."
