I found this article in an 1896 Australian magazine that bicycle riding was "a new disease is a kind of intoxication for movement, that is shown in an unconscious, or semi-unconscious bearing of the body, which becomes especially plain when great steadiness is called for, as for instance, in sitting for a photograph. It is shown also in an over desire for rapidity of motion, as if it were necessary at every moment to overcome time and curtail distances by labor of an extreme kind. The constant impression given is that the sufferer, from this general vibratory condition of the body, must jump on his wheel and be off, although the weather and circumstances are not opportune for riding. The whole manner bespeaks haste, although there is not the slightest occasion for it." https://twitter.com/martyvis/status/1562362136612859904 https://twitter.com/martyvis/status/1562362136612859904
