The "boneshaker" was named for the jarring and uncomfortable ride it provided, which could literally shake the bones of the rider. This early bicycle, invented in the 1860s, featured a solid wooden frame and iron tires, making it difficult to maneuver on rough roads. Its design led to a bumpy experience, earning it the nickname that highlighted its harshness and the physical toll it took on those who rode it.
