Bicycles vs. Streetcar tracks

Turn of the century bicycles had much larger tires than today's do, roughly the size of those on modern mountain bikes (minus the knobs). This was to absorb the bumps of rougher (and in some cases, non-existent) road surfaces. I'd imagine it made trolly tracks less of a hassle, though still probably something to be wary of. --Cosmo the third 15:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
