Introduction[edit | edit source]

Cycling was initiall invented by Baron Carl von Drais in 1817, but not as we know it. This was a machine which intailed two wheels which were connected by a wooden plan with a rudder device for steering, that involved people running along the ground whilst sitting down; giving them the name of a 'running machine' (in all senses) or a velocipied. This was solely used by the male population at the time of invention. The velocipied then made a huge design development in the 1860's where Michaux factory in Paris. They added leaver arms to the fron wheel which were prepelled by pedals at the feet. This was the first conventional bicycle, and since then up until the current day the bicyle has made great design and technological advances. [1]
