Re:Why did we wait so long for the bicycle? (2019) by musicale on Wednesday December 09, 2020 @12:28AM (#25355667)
And why did we wait 6,000 years for wheeled luggage?

(note: wheeled handcarts seem to date back some 4,000 years but putting wheels directly on a case or basket seems like a great idea.)

(TIL some ancient wheelbarrows in China had a center-placed wheel and could carry 6 passengers.)[1]
