Imwe nguva muma1990, ruzha rwekufamba rwakatanga kuchinja.Shanduko dzakapfuura dzakauya nezvakagadzirwa zvinonyatsozivikanwa: apo injini yemhepo inochema yakatsiva vhiri rengoro rinogomera (kana seiri inoputika);mhepo inovhuvhuta yakatsauka.Asi shanduko itsva iyi ine demokrasi uye yakapararira.Inogona kunzwika kwese kwese - mumikoto yese ine mbeu uye uko vafambi vanowanzoungana: pazviteshi zvezvitima, mumahotera ehotera, panhandare dzendege.Ndinoinzwa mumugwagwa pedyo nepamba pedu nguva zhinji masikati nousiku, asi zvichida kunyanya mangwanani-ngwanani apo vanhu vanofamba nzendo refu.“Braddle, delirium, delirium, delirium, delirium, delirium,” ndiwo matsananguriro akaita vana veImpressionist.Dai takanzwa ruzha urwu makore makumi matatu apfuura, tingadai takafungidzira mutsetse wemutsetse achimuka mambakwedza kuti adzidzire.Iye zvino inogona kunge iri chero munhu: gweta rine wigs uye mapepa emutemo, mhuri inofamba nemutoro kwemavhiki maviri muAlgarve.Rakareruka kana kurema, hombe kana diki, imwe sutukesi inorira nepamutswe iri munzira inoenda kunomira bhazi kana nzira yepasi.
Upenyu hwakanga hwakaita sei masutukezi asati ava nemavhiri?Kufanana nevanhu vakawanda vezera ravo, baba vangu vaipfeka makadhibhokisi edu pabendekete ravo rokuruboshwe.Aimhanya somutyairi wengarava, sokunge kuti bhokisi rinorema harina kurema kupfuura shiri, kunyange zvazvo ikoku kwaireva kuti kuti afarikanye kurukurirano, nguva dzose munhu aifanira kufamba achienda kurudyi rwake;asati apindura sarupu isingakarirwi kubva kuruboshwe, akatendeukira ikoko zvishoma nezvishoma uye noune, sebhiza rakavharwa maziso.Handina kumbobvira ndagona hunyanzvi hwekuitakura papfudzi ndikafunga ndega kuti kana masutukesi aine zvibato, zvino anogona kushandiswa, kunyangwe chikonzero chaicho chingave chekuti handina kusimba zvakakwana.Baba vangu vanogona kufamba nzendo refu vakatakura mikwende kumusana.Mamwe mangwanani eSvondo, apo mukoma wangu akanga achidzokera kuRAF achibva kuzororo remhuri, ndinoyeuka ndichimutyaira makiromita maviri kukwira makomo kuenda kuchiteshi apo pakanga pasina chimwe chokufambisa chakanga chiripo;baba vangu vakatakura bhegi remwanakomana wavo pamafudzi.yakanga yakafanana nehomwe iyo kwaya yakaimba pamusoro penziyo "Jolly Wanderer", iyo yaiva yepamusoro gumi panguva iyoyo.
Vamwe vanosarudza mamwe maitiro.Mapikicha emumigwagwa anoratidza vana vari mumapushchair vachizadza masutukesi ezororo, ukuwo macheya akareruka achizorora mumaoko aamai vavo.Ndinofungidzira kuti vabereki vangu vaiona muitiro uyu se“unozivikanwa navose,” zvichida nemhaka yokuti mhuri dzinotiza kubhadharwa kwerendi dzimwe nguva dzinoita nenzira iyi (“Chiedza cheMwedzi”).Chokwadi, mari ndiyo chinhu chose.Kunyangwe iwe uine shoma, unogona kurumbidza matekisi nevatakuri kana kuunza masutukesi ako pamberi nechitima - angangoita kusvika ma1970s, achiri kuwanikwa kune Clyde coast vanoita mazororo uye Oxford vadzidzi muma1960s.Kunaka kwakadaro.Rinoratidzika kuva basa raWaugh kana kuti Wodehouse, asi ndinoyeuka shamwari yechikoro ichiudzwa naamai vake vane chishuvo munzanga, kuti: “Ipa mutakuri shillingi uye ngaakuise iwe namabhokisi ako muchitima muNorth Berwick.”kuvapo kwesutukesi isina mavhiri kunoenderana neboka revashandi vanobhadharwa zvishoma, uye izvi zvinotonhorera zvine hembe dzvuku zvichiri kuoneka pamapuratifomu enjanji yeIndia nekurongedza neunyanzvi mikwende yako pamisoro yavo.zvione zvakare.
Asi zvinoita sekunge mavhiri anounza kwete mari yevashandi, asi marefu marefu marefu enhandare dzendege.Kutsvakurudza kwakawanda kunodiwa;munhoroondo yezvinhu zvemazuva ese, mabhegi haasati asvika padanho rekufunda iro Henry Petroski akaitira mapenzura kana Radcliffe Salaman wembatatisi Academic level, uye, senge zvese zvakagadzirwa, vanopfuura munhu mumwe chete vanogona kuzviti vanorumbidzwa.Zvishandiso zvine mavhiri zvinonamira kumasutukezi zvakaonekwa kuma1960, asi hazvina kusvika muna 1970 apo Bernard D. Sadow, mutevedzeri wapurezidhendi wekambani inogadzira mikwende muMassachusetts, akava nepiphany.Akatakura masutukezi maviri anorema kumusana pashure pezororo kuCaribbean, akacherechedza patsika apo mumwe mushandi wepanhandare yendege aifambisa sei zvinhu zvinorema pamubhedha une mavhiri asina kumboshanda nesimba.Maererano nemushumo weNew York Times waJoe Sharkley makore 40 gare gare, Sadow akaudza mudzimai wake kuti, “Munoziva, iyi ndiyo sutukesi yatinoda,” uye paakadzokera kubasa, akadhonza masiketi anomonereka kubva muhunde yewadhiropu. .ndokudziisa musutukesi hombe ine tambo yekudhonza pamberi.
Inoshanda - zvakanaka, sei kwete?- Makore maviri gare gare, hunyanzvi hwaSadow hwakanyoreswa seUS Patent #3,653,474: "Rolling Baggage", iyo yaiti kufamba nendege ndiko kwakamukurudzira.“Mukwende waimbotakurwa nevatakuri votakurwa nekuburutswa munzvimbo dzinofarira migwagwa, nepo materminals makuru anhasi … ari kuwedzera kuoma kwekutakura mikwende, [rinogona kuva dambudziko guru kune vanofamba nendege.”, masutukesi ane mavhiri anononoka kubata.Varume vainyanya kuramba kushandiswa kwemasutukezi ane mavhiri—“chinhu chinoshamisira zvikuru,” anoyeuka kudaro Sadow muThe New York Times—uye kuti sutukesi yake yakanga yakati kurei uye yaiva quad yakachinjika.Kufanana neLogie Baird's TV, yakakurumidza kutsiviwa nehunyanzvi hwepamusoro, mune iyi nyaya ine mavhiri maviri Rollaboard yakavakwa neNorthwest Airlines mutyairi uye DIY anofarira Robert Plath muna 1987. Yakagadzirwa mu1999, akatengesa mamodheru ake ekutanga kune nhengo dzevashandi.Mabhodhi anotenderedzwa ane zvibato zvetelescopic uye anogona kukungurutswa akatwasuka nekurereka kushoma.Kuonekwa kwevashandi vendege vachivatungamirira kunhandare yendege kwakaita kuti kugadzirwa kwaPlath kuve sutukesi yenyanzvi.Vakadzi vakawanda vari kufamba vari voga.Mhedzisiro yesutukesi isina mavhiri inosarudzwa.
Mwedzi uno, ndakafamba-famba muEurope nevhezheni yemavhiri mana yeRollaboard yekare, shanduro yandakanonoka nayo nekuti mavhiri maviri aiita seane zvivi zvakakwana munyika yechirume yemukwende wekare.Asi: mavhiri maviri akanaka, mavhiri mana ari nani.Takasvika ikoko nekuchinjika majana - zvitima gumi, zvitima zviviri zvedhamu, nzira dzepasi pevhu, mahotera matatu - kunyangwe ndichinzwisisa kuti zvakandiomera kusvika chero kupi naPatrick Leigh Fermor kana Norman Lewis ari padanho rimwe chete, asi zvinoita sekunge budiriro hapana kutamiswa uku kunoda taxi.Zvifambiso zvevoruzhinji zvizere.Takafamba zviri nyore pakati pezvitima, ngarava nemahotera;mumigwagwa yakanaka, yakati sandara, mavhiri mana airatidzika kuva anogadzira simba rawo pachawo apo kufamba kwakaoma—somuenzaniso, muTour de France, inozivikanwa sePave—zviri nyore kudzoka pamavhiri maviri.uye ramba uchidzika nemateru.
Pamwe kutakura masutukesi hachisi chinhu chakanaka.Izvi zvakakurudzira vanhu kutakura zvakawanda kupfuura zvavaida—zvinopfuura zvavaigona kutakura mumazuva asina mavhiri—mumasutukezi akakura semadhiramu egungwa ayo akatsvikinyidzana kumberi kwekombi uye nzira yebhazi.Asi kunze kwendege dzakachipa, hapana zvimwe zviri kuitika mazuvano zvaita kuti kufamba kuve nyore.Isu tine chikwereti kuSadow nePlath, mavhiri epurasitiki akasimba uye feminism.
