quote [ When the bicycle debuted in the 1800s, it was blamed for all sorts of problems—from turning people insane to devastating local economies to destroying women’s morals. We explore why the bicycle scared so many people, and what happens if the opposite of our fears turn out to be true. ]

Disclaimer: Did not yet listen to the podcast but was lead there by people quoting stuff from it.
