Two-wheeled carriages are a type of horse-drawn carriage that have been used since the early 19th century. The two most common types of two-wheeled carriages are hansoms and gigs. Hansoms are a type of two-wheeled, horse-drawn carriage that was popular in the late 19th century. They were named after their inventor, Joseph Aloysius Hansom. Gigs are a type of two-wheeled, horse-drawn carriage that was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. They were typically used for short trips and were often used by doctors and other professionals.
