Bicycles

Bicycles are a very long time. It all started with a 'wheel of wood. We simply sat down on it and pushed on with the legs, while one had only to move the handlebars. Pedals came much later to the wheel on it. The first manufactured bicycles were then already made of metal. The front wheels were very large, so that it sat very high on the wheel. By contrast, the rear wheel was rather small.

At that time, only the well-heeled people could afford such a bike. Later refined the technique of bicycles. This made the bikes then produced in large plants in higher quantities and are therefore cheaper. Could now afford the middle class and the workers a bicycle. In some countries like the Netherlands or China, there are more bicycles than cars. This is due to the fact that simply lack the necessary space on the street and, second, that the people are environmentally conscious in these countries than others. And it's cheap anyway. Bicycles are available in different designs. They are available for women men and children but also for disabled people. These bicycles are special in that it has three wheels.

Usually a front wheel and two rear wheels. Thus, these wheels are very safe and suitable for road transport. In the children's bicycles, there is the so-called Puckiräder, also called runners, with training wheels and then starting at 20 inches. Men's and women's bikes are in various frame sizes to become standard in every bike shop.
