It's interesting that US grade school focuses on the Puritans/Pilgrims being persecuted for not being Catholic. I didn't realize they were religious fundamentalists to this extent (from wikipedia): "They preached the belief that bicycles should be used for utilitarian purposes only and any pleasure derived from cycling was a sin".
