"... cycling is a remedy for dyspepsia, torpid liver, incipient consumption, nervous exhaustion, rheumatism and melancholia."
-- Frances Willard, A Wheel Within a Wheel, 1895

"The ordinary horseless carriage is at present a luxury for the wealthy; and although its price will probably fall in the future, it will never, of course, come into as common use as the bicycle."
--The Literary Digest, 1899
