Four wheels? Two wheels? Why, those just sound so impractical

this made me think of the Century Trilogy by Ken Follett, and it follows the lives of several families from the 1910’s to the early 1970’s, taking place in Europe, the States, and the USSR during the great changes of these places, and in it there is a woman named Ethel Leckwith, born in 1894, who in her lifetime went from a mining town in Wales with horse drawn carriage to get around, and few (if any) cars or trucks, owned only by the wealthy, to the age of nuclear arms, television sets, jet planes and transatlantic air travel, desegregation (not there in the book yet but i believe) the moon missions, in her 75 years… it’s astounding all that has changed in such a very short time in history. and reading it from the perspective of one woman’s journey through two world wars, the Cold War, civil unrest, and more is breathtaking. i recommend it to anyone!!
