I was listening to one of Bill Bryson's History Books on CD as I cooked supper the other day.
Did you know that the term "Road Hog" was originally applied in 1893 to describe Bicyclists?!!
Can you imagine how narrow the roads must have been back then to have a svelte piece of metal with two paltry wheels hindering people from getting by?
It boggles the mind ...
