( 13 ) The front wheel was four to five feet high,while the back wheel was about a foot and a half high. Because its front wheelwas so large,(14) the new bike was faster and quieter. What is more, therider's body was not bumped around as much on the Ordinary. But the Ordinarywasn't comfortable for anyone. (15)It was so high that getting on and off was very difficult.
