Velocipede

After Tambora eruption

Other, lesser social changes may trace their origins to the Year Without Summer. A 'New Scientist' article published in 2005 argues convincingly that the velocipede, the ancestor of modern bicycle, was developed in the aftermath of 1816's failed grain harvest as a means of transportation that didn't need to be fed (unlike horses). And in perhaps the most unusual effect of the poor weather, Mary Shelly took refuge from the elements in a Swiss castle being rented by Lord Byron, using her time to write the horror classic 'Frankenstein'. ~ Page 170
