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.

    Allow me to share with you something most septic companies refuse to: there are two categories of people in this reality. Those who believe septic systems are simply "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who've had raw sewage bubbling into their property at the dead of night. I understood this reality the tough way in 2005—standing in muck, shivering in a Washington rainstorm, as my siblings and I aided a grizzled installer restore our family's failed system. I was a teenager. My hands ached. My clothes were destroyed. But that evening, something crystallized: This ain't just dirt work. It's folks' lives we are safeguarding.
    Let me share the ugly truth: nearly all septic companies just maintain tanks. They're like band-aid salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? They are different. It all originated back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids barely tall enough to shoulder a shovel—aided install their family's septic system alongside a experienced pro. Picture this: three pre-teens buried in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil porosity affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We didn't just dig ditches," Art shared with me last winter, hot coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how soil whispers mysteries. A patch of marsh plants here? That's Mother Nature yelling 'high water table.'"

    Howdy! I could have sworn I've been to this blog before but after reading
    through some of the post I realized it's new to me.
    Anyways, I'm definitely glad I found it and I'll
    be book-marking and checking back frequently!
