5 REASONS TO CYCLE TO WORK

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.

    It's actually very difficult in this active life
    to listen news on TV, thus I simply use world wide web for that
    reason, and obtain the latest information.

    Hello there! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site
    mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my iphone4.
    I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might
    be able to fix this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
    Appreciate it!

    Что же отличает экраны iPhone 15 и iPhone 15 Plus от своих предшественников?
    | В чём различия экранов iPhone 15 и iPhone 15 Plus по сравнению

    iPhone 15 и iPhone 15 Plus отличаются в плане дисплея от ранних версий ?



    Во-первых, рекордная пиковая яркость до целых 2000 нит, что
    обеспечивает комфортное использование смартфона при ярком солнечном свете .


    По мнению Дэна, возникает сомнение, сколько времени
    устройство сможет работать на
    максимальной яркости, прежде чем начнётся её падение .
    Подобное случалось ранее,
    например, с линейкой iPhone 13
