5 REASONS TO CYCLE TO WORK

December 2015 By Super User Blog

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.

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just
    your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
    However just imagine if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
    Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this site could certainly be one of the best in its field.
    Superb blog!

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really
    something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try
    to get the hang of it!

    Let me share the dirty truth: most septic companies just pump tanks. They act like quick-fix salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are different. It all originated back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids hardly tall enough to carry a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Imagine this: three youngsters waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil absorption affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We didn't just dig ditches," Art shared with me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how ground whispers truths. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature shouting 'high water table.'"
