What is a "velocipede"?
A velocipede is an early type of bicycle or human-powered vehicle, popular in the 19th century. It typically had three or more wheels and was powered by the rider pushing with their feet or pedaling. The design of velocipedes varied, but they usually featured a frame, handlebars for steering, and a saddle for seating. They were precursors to modern bicycles and were used for both transportation and recreation.
Example
Kids in the 1800s enjoyed riding velocipedes, those cool tricycles with big front wheels.
