Read the excerpt from Chapter 1 of Wheels of Change.

However, with iron tires and only an ineffective steel spring under the seat to absorb bumps in the road, this velocipede was a challenge to ride. It quickly earned the nickname "boneshaker." In 1865, Lallement brought his boneshaker to Connecticut, where he filed a description of it with the federal government and received a patent. While the boneshaker enjoyed a flash of popularity in the United States and Europe, its weight-it could be as heavy as 150 pounds-and other design flaws hastened its demise.

Why did the velocipede stop gaining popularity in the United States and Europe? Check all that apply.

It was hard to ride.

It was patented.

It was very heavy.

It had a strange nickname.

It had design flaws.
