🐎 Brougham Carriage 1838 — the Victorian era's most popular private taxi before motorcars existed.
Lord Brougham personally designed this compact single horse carriage so that one person could travel privately and quickly through London streets without needing a large expensive team of horses.
This single design became so popular that the word Brougham was later used to describe the first enclosed body style of early motorcars.
Drop a 🔥 if you had no idea this carriage influenced car design forever.

🚲 Singer Extraordinary Bicycle 1878 — built by the same company that later made motorcycles and cars.
George Singer built this unusual bicycle in Coventry with pedals mounted to the side of the front wheel rather than the center hub, making it easier to mount and dismount than a standard Penny Farthing.
The Singer company that built this bicycle in eighteen seventy eight eventually became one of Britain's most famous car manufacturers.
Drop a 🔥 if you had no idea Singer started with bicycles.

🚂 Steam Tram 1870s — the machine that replaced horses on city streets before electric trams existed.
A compact steam engine pulling an enclosed passenger car along fixed rails could carry three times more passengers than any horse drawn tram while running faster and more reliably through city streets.
Cities across Victorian England replaced their horses with steam almost overnight in the eighteen seventies.
Drop a 🔥 if you wish steam trams still ran through city streets today.

🚲 Rover Safety Bicycle 1885 — the exact bicycle design every single modern bicycle still uses today.
John Kemp Starley built this diamond frame chain driven bicycle in Coventry and its design was so perfect that one hundred and forty years later not a single fundamental element has ever been changed.
The bicycle you ride today is identical in every fundamental way to this machine from eighteen eighty five.
Drop a 🔥 if this blows your mind completely.

Some people only remember you exist when life gets hard for them. The moment you're okay again — so are they. Protect your energy like it's the most valuable thing you own. Because it is. 🖤
