Mark Twain on bicycles

After I posted that Mark Twain quote, [personal profile] laughingrat sent me a link to Twain's essay on bicycles:

Taming the Bicycle

(For modern comprehension, substitute "Neosporin" or "arnica" for "Pond's Extract.")

Crossposting to my own journal.

That's a treasure!

Thank you for passing it along. I'd never seen or heard of it. Twain was a curmudgeon even before he was old, wasn't he? :D
