Apr 25 at 6:30 comment added Michael I wonder how bad unpaved roads actually were. Farming dirt tracks like this one are actually quite nice to ride even with narrow, bald tyres and no suspension: amliebstenreisen.at/bilder/2018/03/ulr-2.jpg Of course it’s a whole different story when it rains and they turn into this: static.zoonar.de/img/www_repository3/a4/34/0c/…

Apr 24 at 14:58 comment added gschenk caveat: this is Euro-centric. In the era you mentioned, ie 16 to 18 century, technology and infrastructure in other areas were more advanced. However, there are similar resaons, such as roads were not made for easy rolling, population densities were lower, and social structure didn't have a mobile gentry without horses or palanquin bearers.
