"No one got upset when bicycles turned up; no one said, oh god this is ruining society" - not to nitpick something that's irrelevant to the argument of the piece, but I'm pretty sure they *did* get weird about the bike, and esp when women started using them. As a Victorian slipped out of time, I think I have come across this in my reading!

I have also read that, though I don't remember a source off the top of my head. XD
