A BRIEF HISTORY OF BICYCLING

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.

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog
    and was curious what all is required to get setup?
    I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    I am curious to find out what blog system you have been utilizing?
    I'm having some small security issues with my latest website and I would
    like to find something more secure. Do you have any suggestions?

    Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you're
    working with? I'm going to start my own blog in the near future
    but I'm having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm
    looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    Hi! I could have sworn I've visited this blog before but after going through some of the posts I realized it's new to me.

    Regardless, I'm definitely happy I found it and I'll
    be book-marking it and checking back frequently!

    I've been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours lately, but I by no means found any fascinating
    article like yours. It is beautiful worth enough for me.

    In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did,
    the internet shall be a lot more helpful than ever before.

    About Port Campbell National Park

    Hello Girls,
    Only if you really think about mt buller day tour?! We have detailed information about
    12 apostles day tour


    Phillip Island Tour yarns start pretty much the same: someone mentions penguins, the surf
    comes up next, and soon enough, you’ve packed the esky, and told
    yourself you’ll get home before the Monash clogs up.
    I’ve looped this route more times than I care to admit, both with Wildlife Tours and with
    my own mob at Get Lost, and trust me when I say, the island rewards those who don’t rush it.
    Journeys on a Phillip Island Tour always remind me how
    close authentic animal encounters are to Melbourne’s doorstep.



    Phillip Island Tour days start early for me,
    usually with a coffee strong enough to raise
    the dead and a fast gear check before hitting the road.
    You’ll want a jumper handy, even when it’s warm —
    the Bass Coast is notorious for its sideways winds — and you’ll be glad you’ve got an itinerary mixing coastline, animals and peaceful bush tracks.

    Phillip Island Tour routes are flexible, sure, but they favour travellers who don’t mind ducking off the main drag to see what’s really happening behind the tourist spots.

    Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was
    super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm
    thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing.
    Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers?

    I'd definitely appreciate it.
