Canada
In Canada the boneshaker and the ordinary bicycle were used largely for pleasure and sport. The first club for Ordinary bicycles was opened in 1878 in Montreal. Le bicycle ordinaire et le bicycle boneshaker était utilisé au Canada pour des activités de recréation et aussi pour le sport. Le tout premier club pour les bicycles Ordinaires a ouvert ces portes à Montréal en 1878.
Function
This artifact functions as a means of transportation for a rider. Ce vélocipède fonctionne comme un moyen de transport pour un coureur.
Technical
This velocipede employs the same wood techniques for its construction in the boneshakers, likely as a way to save on costs and weight. The large wheel made the ride more comfortable, at the cost of making it harder to control. At first, bicycle makers were skeptical of implementing wire spokes on their wheels, assuming that the rigidity of the bicycle would suffer as a result. To compensate for the increased weight of making the front wheel bigger, bicycle designers made the rear wheels smaller, particularly for later wire-spoked variants. Ce vélocipède utilise les mêmes techniques de construction comme celle des boneshakers pour diminuer les coûts de production ainsi que pour diminuer son poids. La grande roue permettait au coureur de voyager avec plus de confort, mais le cout était que le vélocipède était plus difficile à contrôler. Les fabriquant des bicycles était plutôt sceptique de la conception d'une roue à rayons métalliques, car ils pensaient que la robustesse du bicycle allait diminuer. Les fabricants ont rétréci la largeur de la roue arrière pour compenser avec l'augmentation du poids causé par la grande roue en avant du vélocipède. Ceci était plutôt commun avec les modèles qui utilisaient les roues à rayons métalliques.
