5 REASONS TO CYCLE TO WORK

The dandy horse, also called Draisienne or laufmaschine, was the first human means of transport to use only two wheels in tandem and was invented by the German Baron Karl von Drais. It is regarded as the modern bicycle's forerunner; Drais introduced it to the public in Mannheim in summer 1817 and in Paris in 1818. Its rider sat astride a wooden frame supported by two in-line wheels and pushed the vehicle along with his/her feet while steering the front wheel. The 1860s captured the realease of Velocipede or Boneshaker - a two-wheeled bicycle with pedals and cranks on the front wheel. It was known as the bone shaker because the combination of a wood frame and metal tires made for a very uncomfortable ride over cobblestone streets. See what happened next on the list:

  • 1870s - High-wheeled bicycle: One of the first models to be called a 'bicycle' (after its two wheels). The high wheel allowed the rider to travel farther with a single rotation of the pedals. Moreover, a metal frame and rubber tires provided a more comfortable ride than the boneshaker.
  • 1885 - Rover Safety bicycle: Invented by John Kemp Starely, England; Featured a strong enough metal to make a chain, plus it had two same-sized wheels and a similar frame to today's bicycles.
  • 1888 - Pnuematic tires: Invented by John Boyd Dunlop, Ireland; Develops air-filled tires that provide a smoother ride than the previously used hard-rubber tires.
  • 1920s - Kid's bicycles become popular.
  • 1940s - Built-in kickstands developed.
  • 1960s - Racing bicycles become popular and feature dropped handlebars, narrow tires, numerous speeds and a lighter frame.
  • 1980 - Spurred by mountain biking and extreme sports, mountain bicycles become a popular consumer item and feature sturdier frames, larger wheels and flat handlebars.
  • 1996 - Mountain bicycles appear in the Olympics.

It's a long way from there to now. Seeing how bicycle develops through time, we know to appreciate what we are having to day and how society grows. Let spend some time to be thankful.

    Let me tell you something nearly all septic companies will not: there are two kinds of people in this life. Those who believe septic systems are simply "underground boxes for waste," and those who have had raw sewage erupting into their property at the dead of night. I understood this distinction the tough way in 2005—knee-deep in mud, freezing in a Washington deluge, as my brothers and I aided a weathered installer repair our family's broken system. I was 14. My hands ached. My pants were destroyed. But that moment, something clicked: This ain't just manual labor. It's people's lives we're preserving.
    Let me share the dirty truth: most septic companies just pump tanks. They are like quick-fix salesmen at a demolition convention. But Septic Solutions? They're unique. It all started back in the early 2000s when Art and his family—just kids barely tall enough to lift a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a experienced pro. Imagine this: three kids waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil porosity affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We did not just dig trenches," Art explained to me last winter, steaming coffee cup in hand. "We understood how earth whispers mysteries. A patch of marsh plants here? That's Mother Nature yelling 'high water table.'"
