TYPES OF BICYCLE AND HISTOR

As written Encyclopedia of Columbia, the ancestors of the bike itself is estimated to come from France. According to the newspaper's history, the country has been since the beginning of the 18th century two-wheeled transportation know who called velocipede. Over the years, velocipede became the only term that refers to the results of a two-wheel vehicle design.

Karls Baron von Drais was a German Sauerbronn noteworthy as one falsifies velocipede. In 1818, von Sauerbronn making two-wheeled transport equipment to support the work efficiency. As the head gamekeeper Baden, he does need to transport high mobility. However, the model seems still ambiguous, between bicycles and horse-drawn carriage. So that people nicknamed the Baron's creation as a dandy horse.

in 1839, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a blacksmith born in Scotland, made "machine" specifically for bikes. Certainly not a machine like those of a motorcycle, but more like driving the crank is turned, through the up and down movement of the foot pedal. MacMillan also had "dared" earlier crank connecting with the steering rod (simple handlebars).

While noting efforts to improve the encyclopedia Britannica.com French inventor, Ernest Michaux in 1855, by making a crank weights, up to the pace of the bike is more stable. More perfect after the Frenchman, Pierre Lallement (1865) reinforces the wheel by adding iron circle around it (now known as the rim or wheel). Lallement also introduced a bicycle with a front wheel bigger than the rear wheels.

The most significant progress occurred when perforated steel making technology is found, following a good growing iron grafting techniques, as well as the invention tire rubber as a raw material. However, safety and comfort factor remains unsolved. Because technology suspension (per etc.) has not been found, wobble and shake frequently make a buck lumbago. Half joking, people dub bicycles Lallement as boneshaker (bone shaker).

So do not be surprised if in the era of the 1880s, three-wheeled bicycle that is considered safer for women and men whose feet are too short for conventional bicycle pedal became so popular. Trend two-wheel bike back globally after the founding of the first bicycle factory in Coventry, England in 1885. The factory established James Starley is increasingly finding momentum after 1888 John Dunlop found the wind tire technology. The pace of the bike was no longer shaking.

Other findings, such as the brake, the gear ratio can be changed, chains, handlebars that can be moved, and many more add to the appeal of the bike. Since then, millions of people began to make bicycles as a means of transport, with the United States and Europe as a pioneer. Although slowly, his role began to be removed cars and motorcycles, bicycles still have observer. Even the notoriously fanatical fans.

Now the bike has a variety of names and models. Grouping is usually based on function and size. Here are some of the types of bicycles are:

Mountain Bike (MTB): used for off-road with a strong frame, has a suspension, and a combination of speed up to 27.

Bicycle Race: highways used for racing, the overall light weight, smooth tires to reduce friction with the road, the combination of speed up to 27

Bicycles BMX: BMX stands for bicycle moto-cross, widely used for attractions

Mini Bikes: Included in this group are children's bicycles, both two-wheeled and three-wheeled

Folding bikes: a type of bicycle that can be folded in seconds so that it can be carried anywhere with ease

Tandem bike: It is a bicycle that has a saddle and paddle more than one.

Bicycle Wheel One: Bicycles are memerlukakan special skills to drive it, usually used by circus performers to perform attractions

Fixie Bike: Bike Fixie synonymous with a minimalist style, cheap and not complicated. Fixie bikes have no brakes, pedals keep spinning during mengelinding wheel. That bike is a trend among the young to workers. Using a bicycle not only as a means of transportation, but to lifestyle. Fixie bike build arguably easy easy difficult, so many affairs component and some can be combined with a racing bike components. Fixie bike just more simple, like the young with its own style that can make the bike at will.
