AN OVERVIEW ON BICYCLES

The dandy horse, also called Draisienne or laufmaschine, was the first human means of transport to use only two wheels in tandem and was invented by the German Baron Karl von Drais. It is regarded as the modern bicycle's forerunner; Drais introduced it to the public in Mannheim in summer 1817 and in Paris in 1818. Its rider sat astride a wooden frame supported by two in-line wheels and pushed the vehicle along with his/her feet while steering the front wheel. The 1860s captured the realease of Velocipede or Boneshaker - a two-wheeled bicycle with pedals and cranks on the front wheel. It was known as the bone shaker because the combination of a wood frame and metal tires made for a very uncomfortable ride over cobblestone streets. See what happened next on the list:

  • 1870s - High-wheeled bicycle: One of the first models to be called a 'bicycle' (after its two wheels). The high wheel allowed the rider to travel farther with a single rotation of the pedals. Moreover, a metal frame and rubber tires provided a more comfortable ride than the boneshaker.
  • 1885 - Rover Safety bicycle: Invented by John Kemp Starely, England; Featured a strong enough metal to make a chain, plus it had two same-sized wheels and a similar frame to today's bicycles.
  • 1888 - Pnuematic tires: Invented by John Boyd Dunlop, Ireland; Develops air-filled tires that provide a smoother ride than the previously used hard-rubber tires.
  • 1920s - Kid's bicycles become popular.
  • 1940s - Built-in kickstands developed.
  • 1960s - Racing bicycles become popular and feature dropped handlebars, narrow tires, numerous speeds and a lighter frame.
  • 1980 - Spurred by mountain biking and extreme sports, mountain bicycles become a popular consumer item and feature sturdier frames, larger wheels and flat handlebars.
  • 1996 - Mountain bicycles appear in the Olympics.

It's a long way from there to now. Seeing how bicycle develops through time, we know to appreciate what we are having to day and how society grows. Let spend some time to be thankful.

    You ever sit in one of those vendor-sponsored “thought leadership” panels and wonder, when does the real talk start?

    Yeah—me too.

    So I stopped showing up. And started joining private IT roundtables instead. No recordings. No selling. Just a handful of sharp, scarred-up tech leaders swapping war stories over coffee (or whiskey, depending on the breach).

    Let me tell you—this is where the gold is.

    “We hired a red team… they got in through our interns.”
    “Our CEO clicked a phishing link from his yacht.”
    “We killed 4 tools last quarter. Not a single tear.”

    I’ve been writing about these sessions—not naming names, not burning bridges—but capturing what really matters. The strategies that work in the field, the ones that fall flat, and the quiet, unspoken truths most execs won’t admit on stage.

    It’s not theory. It’s survival.

    You’ll find everything from real-world zero trust implementation screw-ups… to how top CIOs are rethinking hybrid infrastructure (again)… to why burnout is hitting CISOs harder than ransomware.

    This is the stuff that helps you lead sharper, fight smarter, and stay ahead of the chaos.

    No ads.
    No fluff.
    Just straight, unsanitized insight.

    Read the latest post here (insert link).
    If you’ve got scars, stories, or strategy—bring ’em. The comments are open and the forum’s for us.

    Let’s keep it real. Let’s make it useful.
    Because no one else will.

    —Still here, still listening.
