Jones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_E._H._Jones) has a peculiar habit of creating self-proclaimed "un-rideable bicycles" and then publishing papers explaining how he rides them with ease. "Sociologists suggest that bicycles enlarged the gene pool for rural workers by enabling them to easily reach the next town and increase their courting radius." -- Wikipedia A boneshaker is not a sexual device.
