Bicycle History

Older bikes history began in Europe. Around the year 1790, a successful first bike built in the UK. Embryo of this bike is named Hobby Horses and Celeriferes. Both mechanisms have not got a bike today, the control wheel and pedal system. That there are only two wheels on a wooden frame. You can imagine how awkward and bulky look of both bikes earlier. Even so, they simply help people - in those days - to run. Phenomenal discovery of bikes in the story of the past created thanks to Baron Karl von Drais. Von Drais is listed as a student mathematics and mechanics at Heidelberg, Germany managed to make important breakthroughs, which turned out to be the foundation stone of the development of the next bike.By Von Drais, Hobby Horse modified to have a steering mechanism on the front wheels. By taking the energy of 


motion of both legs, Von Drais able to glide faster when around the garden. He himself calls this vehicle with the name, Draisienne. Own news published in local newspapers of Germany in 1817.Creation process is then performed Kirkpatrick Macmillan. In 1839, he adds shaft drive that connects between the rear wheels with front tires Draisienne. To run it, just pedal there.James Starley began building bicycles in the UK in 1870. He produced a bike with a very large front wheel (high wheel bicycle) was very small back wheel. Bikes of this type are very popular throughout Europe. For Starley managed to make a breakthrough by creating the wheel radius and cross-tangent method. Until now, the technology was still in use. Consequently, the bike becomes lighter for dikayuh.Unfortunately, the bike with big wheels that it has many shortcomings. This becomes a dilemma for those who boned and petite women. Because the pedal position and the seat is high enough, they complain of the difficulty to drive it. Until finally, James Starley's nephew, John Kemp Starley find a solution. He created a safer bike to be ridden by anyone in 1886. This bike had a chain to drive the rear wheel and both wheels the same size.But equally important discovery by John Boyd Dunlop in 1888. Dunlop managed to find a bike tire technology that can be filled with air (pneumatic tire). From here, the initial rapid progress of the bike. Various forms of bicycles successfully created. As is known then, the bike into a vehicle that's fun.In Indonesia, development of the bike was much influenced by the invaders, especially the Netherlands. They bring production bike to use around the country enjoy the fresh natural Indonesia. The habit is contagious in a blue-blooded aborigines. Finally, the bike so that prestigious of transport.In the next period, when the role of bicycles increasingly driven by technology that carried a variety of motorized vehicles (cars and motorcycles), some people began wanting to preserve history through a collection of antique bicycles. On average, their old bikes outputs European manufacturers. Digit year between 1940 until the 1950s. And they are very meticulous in maintaining them."The bike is owned club is very different from a lot of old bikes used motorcycles. If the motorcycle-taxis are mostly old-fashioned bicycle output of China or Japan. In our society, old bike was known by several titles, such as Ontel, dungarees, beetles and sundung.
