1898 Ladies’ Chilion Bicycle

M.D. Stabbins Manufacturing Co., Springfield, Massachusetts

Wooden bicycles became popular during the late 1890s, partially due to a steel

shortage. The makers of Chilion bicycles advertised many other advantages of this

hickory frame – one being its natural resistance to buckling when the rider ran

into an object with force, and another that wood is a natural shock absorber. Most

importantly, the Chilion did not rust.
