What if a natural disaster changed the way we travel forever?
In 1815, the massive eruption of Mount Tambora filled the skies with ash, blocking sunlight and causing what became known as the “Year Without a Summer.”
Crops failed.
Animals died.
Even horses — the main mode of transport — became scarce.
Two years later, in 1817, a German inventor named Karl Drais came up with a bold idea:
a two-wheeled machine you moved with your feet — no pedals, no engine.
People laughed at first… but it worked.
That invention, called the “running machine,” became the foundation of the modern bicycle.
So the next time you ride a cycle, remember —
it exists because of a volcanic disaster that changed the world. 🌋🚲
