History of the Bicycle

I consider that the bicycle is an invention very interesting. Because nowadays still we use it, and I liked to know the evolution of the bicycle.

The Reading shows that the bicycle was an invention during the Industrial Revolution in the XIX century. The first bicycle was very heavy and it wasn´t as confortable and safe as now, because it was made of wood, without adjustable parts or tyres, without pedals, chain and brakes. You had to walk on it. In the beginning only the rich people could used the bicycles and after everybody could get a bicycle. Because they were very cheap and attractive. 

After the bicycle was evoluting. It was of metal and with pedals inserted into the wheel axle. It was less heavy  and more confortable. Because now you could be sitting and to pedal and thus you can move.

In the late nineteenth century the bicycle was created with a huge front wheel and rear tiny. where the people had to have more balance, because the front wheel had the pedals. I like this model of bicycle but if I had this bycicle, I wouln´t ride it.

In Great Britain made the creation of the bicycle as we know it today. Because John Boyd Dunlop invented the tyre neumatic rubber chamber filled with air, with which he equipped his son's tricycle, making it more comfortable circulation. Also the women sped off a symbolic precursor of how bicycles were to liberate their sex.

Nowadays we have seen the majority of people have ridden a bicycle. Also many people have a bicycle in your house. I believe that the bicycle was a very good idea. Because it is a cheap transport and you can make exercise with it. Too there is a sport with it, the  "cycling" , where many people have been joined.

I like to ride bicycle, is very funny.
