Did you know that in the early 1800s, a volcanic eruption led to a fashion revolution? When Indonesia's Mount Tambora erupted in 1815, it caused a "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, drastically affecting global climate. The resulting crop failures and food shortages led to skyrocketing prices for oats, the primary feed for horses. This scarcity prompted a shift from horse-drawn carriages to the newly invented "dandy horse," an early form of the bicycle! Who would've thought a volcanic eruption could spark innovation in transportation and influence the way people got around? 🚴♂️🌋
