When the first diamond frame bicycles became popular in the 1890s they were often called "wheels" - the national cycling association was called the "League of American Wheelmen." We have moved from "wheels" to "bikes," but the bicycles have remained remarkably the same over more than 100 years - elegant in their efficiency and simplicity. And many of the issues that we think are new? They were around then too.

Earring Flattens Bike Tire
Flat tire as result of picking up the sharp end of an earring
Another bike commuter showed up while I was parking my bike at work with this earring in her front tire - not her earring, of course. Anyway, it managed to stay in the tire while she rode briefly, letting all the air out just as she came up to the rack.
I hadn't seen that one before - flat tire by jewelry.
Not a great photo - I didn't realize the phone camera was not focusing on the right spot.
