The following paragraphs are from an essay about the history of the bicycle.
During the 1870s, the dominant bicycle design was the high-wheeler, which featured a massive front wheel and a tiny rear wheel. Ridden primarily by daring young men, these machines were notoriously unstable; hitting a small stone could launch the rider over the handlebars in a dangerous fall known as a 'header.' Consequently, cycling remained a niche, high-risk sport rather than a practical means of transportation.
