"Boneshaker" was a colloquial term for the first bicycles with pedals - so named for their shaky, uncomfortable ride.

In 1867, their Velocipede debuted. History remembers this "Boneshaker" as the first "true bicycle," because it had two wheels, a seat and pedals. However, it wouldn't be until the 1869 debut of the high-wheel or ordinary bicycle that the public would begin to use the term.
