boneshakers
Old rattling bikes
Boneshakers were early bicycles with iron or wooden wheels and no suspension, notorious for their jarring ride over cobblestones.
The term now applies to any old, uncomfortable vehicle—especially a rattling car or bus: We took a boneshaker of a taxi across town.
The singular boneshaker is more common.
