History and Popularity of Bicycles

In this society developing at an accelerating tempo, there are various kinds of transportation modes such as cars, buses, trains, planes, boats, and even helicopters, etc. These transportation vehicles really bring a lot of convenience to people. The development of transportation enables people to go from one place to another in a little time. But transportation modes like planes and trains are suitable for long distance, and what vehicle is fit for the short distance? The answer is a bicycle.

A bicycle is a pedal-driven, human-powered, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. It is also called a bike, pushbike or cycle. Apart from ordinary two-wheeled bicycles, there are also other kinds of cycles such as unicycle, tricycle, quadracycle, etc. whatever kind it is, a cycle is quite important transportation mode in China as well in the whole world.

By developing precursor human-powered vehicles, many innovators contribute a lot to the development of this transportation mode. In the early time, today's modern bicycle is called hobby horses, or push bikes. In some places, sometimes they are still called push bikes.

The basic shape and structure of a typical upright bicycle has changed little since the first chain-driven model was developed around 1885. Being the first human means of transport to make use of the two-wheeler principle, the draizine invented by the German Baron Karl von Drais, is regarded as the forerunner of the modern bicycle. This bike was introduced by Drais to the public in Mannheim in summer 1817 and in Paris in 1818. Later, some French inventors developed the bikes according to their own ideas and they added many details to them. And in 1888, the first practical pneumatic tire was introduced by a Scotsman John Boyd Dunlop. After that, the rear freewheel was developed, too. These all make the invention of 1898 coaster brakes become reality. At the later time, with the development of bikes, racing became widely popular in many countries.

It is no doubt that the invention of the bicycle has had much effect on our society. For example, many mechanical components were come out with the development of these bikes such as ball bearings, chain-driven sprockets, gears, and wheels, etc. Compared to other vehicles, bikes are more environmental friendly, if you just go a short distance, it is very wise to choose bikes as your transportation mode.
