History on his bike found

Historically, the bike was found in France in the late 18th century. The country's two-wheeled transport is named Velocipede. Over the years, Velocipede is the only term that refers to the results of the design of two-wheeled vehicles. But according to another source, said first bicycle was invented in England around 1970.

When first created, do not imagine it is a complete bike as the bikes do you have now. The so-called bike at the time was two round boards that serve as the wheel is then connected to the wood frame to unify the two. We can imagine how awkward and the look of the bike at the time. Forerunners of the bike is then given the name of Hobby Horses and Celeriferes.

 In 1818, a student of mathematics and mechanics in Heidelberg, Germany named Baron von Drais Karls Sauerbronn Velocipede tune to have the steering mechanism on the front wheels. Drais provide a system that allows the front wheels can turn right or left. By taking the energy of motion of both legs, Drais able to glide faster time around the garden. Drais homemade bike is nicknamed "dandy horse" (horse style). Drais himself calls this vehicle with the name, Draisienne.

 The process of creation is then performed by Kirkpatrick Macmillan. It was in 1839, in England, Mac Milan who worked as a blacksmith began to think of making a better bike. Later, Mac Milan managed to create a bike that can move without set foot on the ground. He added that the drive shaft that connects the rear wheel with the front tire and put a wooden pedal to get them moving wheels. To run it, just pedal there.

 Meanwhile, in Paris, France, a man named Kirkpatrick Macmillan also trying to modify the bike made Drais. Michaux and his son made the bike run with the pedal. Bikes made Michaux obtain extraordinary acclaim. With the pedal, riding a lighter and fun. To be able to run fast bike, the front wheel to enlarge it.

This vehicle is the perfect after a Frenchman named Pierre Lallement strengthen wheels by adding an iron circle around it (now known as the rim or wheel) in 1865. Lallement also introduced a bike with the front wheel larger than the rear wheels.

In 1870, James Starley started making bikes with the huge front wheel was very small rear wheel. Starley then managed to make a breakthrough by creating wheel radius and cross-tangent method. With a system of spokes on a wheel, Starley can save wood material and make a lighter bike to ride. Unfortunately, the bike with big wheels it has many shortcomings. Because the position of the pedals and the seat is high enough, the women and the people who do not complain of difficulty so high to drive.

Fortunately, in 1886 the gap repaired by Starley's nephew John Kemp Starley named. He managed to create a safer bike to be ridden by anyone. He put a chain and equalize the amount of front and rear wheels. Equally important discovery also made John Boyd Dunlop in 1888. Dunlop motorcycle tires managed to find a technology that can be filled with air (pneumatic tire). From here, the beginning of the rapid progress of the bike. Then the pace of the bike was no longer shaking and various forms of bicycle successfully created.

Subsequent discovery that contributed bicycling technology, ie as brake, gear ratio which can be removable, chains, handlebars that can be moved and many more which makes the bike more comfortable to ride. Since then more and more people to use bicycles as a means of transportation. Although its functions are now being replaced by motorcycles and cars, but bikes still have quite a lot of fans.
