PROMPT
Before you read A Bumpy Ride, did you know that a bicycle was first called a
“hobbyhorse”? Do you think you could ride a bicycle with a tire that is five
feet wide?
Imagine you are a writer for Bicycling Today magazine. Your editor has
asked you to write a brief article about bicycles of the past. Using the
facts and details in A Bumpy Ride, write an article that describes the
major developments in the history of the bicycle and the problem each
development solved.
PLAN
Make a list of the most important milestones in the history of the
bicycle. Write down the year of the milestone and a short summary
of how bicycles changed that year.
