Bicycles have come a long way since its invention
back in the19th century. They have evolved and
been perfected over time but very little has
changed design-wise, since first being
introduced. It all began in Europe and they
quietly entered in our lives in various forms.
For some it was leisure for others it was work,
nonetheless they changed our lifestyle forever.
But how and when did the gears start shifting?
What was the first crazy invention that led to
people falling in line with this insane idea and
further pushes its development? The First of Its
Kind The Dandy Horse   The first model of the
Bicycles was created by Baron Karl von Drais,
which was named Draisienne or Laufmaschine. It
was called the Dandy Horse in the west became the
reference design to which later bicycles where
designed.   It was the first means of transport
that used two inline wheels and was steered at
the front. His invention was showcased to the
public in Mannheim in 1817 and then Paris in
1818. The design was very simple as the rider sat
on a wooden seat and pushed bicycle with their
legs while steering it using their hands.   So,
began the journey of the bicycle. Invention after
invention progressing the bicycle further while
sticking to the initial design. This led to the
velocipede, the first bicycle in mass production
designed by Frenchmen Pierre Michaux and Pierre
Lallement in the early 1960s. They were the first
ones to add pedals to the bicycle, essentially
making them the inventors of the bicycle.

Constant Improvements and Tinkering Led the Way
for Modern Bicycles   The velocipede was made out
of wood and iron, which made for an incredibly
uncomfortable ride, earning it its nickname, The
Boneshaker. The design continued to evolve as
inventors worked tirelessly on making bicycles
what they are today. Research and development led
to the introduction of gears, suspensions, and
various other equipment, all aiming to make the
ride more comfortable, convenient and even
enjoyable. Constant Improvements and Tinkering

the use of bicycles diversified and made its way
into leisure as well as work, the types of
bicycles increased over time as well. Today
bicycles come in all different sizes and for all
different purposes. Mountain bikes, if you fancy
off-roading, folding bikes, if youre looking for
portability or racing bikes, electric bikes if
youre simply interested in raw speed. These are
just a few in a pool of different models and
various specifications produced and the pool just
keeps getting larger as we continue to push the
limits of what the bicycle is capable of and with
that, what were capable of.
