Who does not know the bike. Vehicles that have two or three wheels, handlebars, seat, pedals up to run it. Later we saw a lot of young kids ride, colorful. If we look carefully, there is a similarity in that their life cycle. Ie, using only one gear and no brakes. This type of bike is so popular and named fixie. Here we'll review the history of bicycles from the beginning until today.The early history of the bike seems still a bit confusing. Some articles refer to a sketch made bike avowed Gian Giacomo Caprotti, a pupil of Leonardo Da Vinci around the year 1490an. But the sketch is still doubtful authenticity, and investigated by the history and culture of Italy.There are still some other recognition of the origin of the bike, but it seems so far, the fact that the appearance of the bike is adequately recognized in the year:1817: Draisienne
A German named Baron Karl von Drais invent Laufmaschine (engine running), then known as yangg Draisienne. Draisienne structure made almost entirely of wood, has steering handlebars, but do not have the pedal to dikayuh. Draisienne movement patterns as when using otopet or skateboard, using a foot pedal instead of the pedal, but directly into the ground (remember the car The Flinstones?). Von Drais patented his creation in 1818, and came to be known again as the Velocipede.1839The first bike that has a mechanized spinning wheel invented Kirkpatrick MacMillan, a blacksmith from Scotland. Mechanical movement of the wheels on the bike is similar to the technique on a steam train locomotive. MacMillan idea is then improvised by a Scottish others named Thomas McCall in 1860.1860-1865: Bone-Shaker.The first time the system was applied to the Pedal and Crank bike, exactly on the front wheels. Who created this system is still in question, because there are those who claim the idea. What is clear, put the pedals on the front wheel proved to be not a perfect idea, because it will make driving difficult for motorists shaking on the wheel due to the stroke. Wooden frame was replaced by iron. But with a rigid design, iron frame and wheels, as well as the rugged road conditions at the time it made the bike is known as Bone-Shakers.1868The first bike that uses rubber tires and Ball-Bearing used James Moore in a bike race that was first held.1870: High-WheelerJames Starley, the French created the first bike that uses a large front wheel that sngt, known by name of Penny-Farthing. Penny-Farthing is actually a further development of the Bone-Shakers. Large front wheel that makes the rider ambulatory further for each rotation, and also a big risk if a sudden stop or coasting on derivatives, because the fall would have been more ill.These bikes are very popular in the 1880s, and is the first bike that got called Bicycle (two wheels). After all, who bears the name of Mr. Bike High (High Bicycle / High Wheeler) just one other French named Eugene Meyer, not Starley.1874The first bike that uses the chain to the rear wheel was created by HJ Lawson.1878: Portable BicycleW.H.J. Grout High Wheeler patented a portable version. Some authorities claim that this is some of the first folding bike in the world. But the fact that the system was introduced Grout is Removable (disassemble-able), not fully folding system.1885: Bicycle SafetyJohn Kemp Starley introduced the Rover Safety Bicycle as a renewal dri High Bicycle limb. Bike safety model is equipped with a variety of elements that possessed modern bikes.1893: FoldingAn American named Michael B. Ryan eventually patented a folding bike that actually.1896: RecumbentRecumbent Bicycle first appeared. Model Recumbent bikes are the type dmn rider can sit back or lie down. Generally Recumbent bikes have front wheels smaller than the rear wheel.
1900-1950Early 20th century, 1900-1910, the popularity of bicycles unrivaled by the presence of a new technology called cars. In 1920 and later bikes began to be regarded as a toy rather than a means of transportation anak2. But this is the emergence of bicycle types diera Cruiser.Jenis famous for its resistance and the weight is introduced by Schwinn in 1933, and became popular in 1940-1950. Shape resembles Cruiser motorcycle pd period, only without the motor.
1960-1973: BMX, Lowrider, Race / Road BikeBikes back in demand as recreational equipment and also sports equipment, in addition to transport functions. In this era type bicycle BMX (Bicycle Motocross) is present in the earth, California, beginning in 1960 AS.Dan jg into early development Lowrider bike distinguishable types of saddle shape that is generally long and slightly curved, which handlebar height and length, the chrome frame curvy, and various other accessories.1977: Mountain bikeThe first prototype was developed by mountain bike marin co. In San Francisco, USA. Mass production started mountain biking in 1981.1977: Fixie Bike (Fixed gear)In principle fixie bikes are bikes with "gear die" aka fixed gear or free wheel tidal. Base bike uses the framework of a racing bike (road bike) and a simple, no gear shift handle even the brake (brake). Fixie bikes are bikes that used the introductory post / newspapers / magazines, commonly known as a courier in the America, precisely in New YorThey are having problems lead time when the package delivers them as a condition of the city of New York is so dense. So they chose the bicycle as an alternative, and the results were satisfactory with reduced delivery lead time and delivery is much faster. Fixie bike, which uses fixed gear, pedal will make the swing continues spinning along with the rotation of the rear wheel, so to do the braking, then the driver must reduce pedal round by way of force against the direction of rotation of the pedal or commonly called the system "trape door". It is very dangerous for people who are not accustomed to, because when crossing the road down, or turning, the pedals will continue to spin and pace of the bike will continue to go fast. Usually the gear ratio (gear ratio) is also large front and rear
