Nothing new in over 120 years. Around 1896 there was a bicycle craze all over the world. People were buying new bikes and women found new freedom in being able to ride all over the countryside. But guess what, a number of groups got very angry at the bicyclists. Hat makers were angry because riders only wore small caps and stopped buying hats. Carriage drivers were angry that people were bicycling instead of riding in their carriages. Farmers were angry that they were on the roads scaring their livestock and horses. Some people threw things at the bicyclists as they went by! But guess what, 120 plus years later people are still bicycling and it is getting even more popular. People should try to adjust to this trend. It is here to stay. (I know this is a hard thing for elderly Villagers to do, but it might help their mental health if they weren’t always driving around angry and absolutely sure in all their beliefs and prejudices.) What happened to the “Woodstock Generation?” Peace.
