7 Ordinary Things That Have Changed Immensely Through History
Bikes
The main means of transport in some countries is the bicycle. They are much more efficient, help protect the environment, are non-polluting and fuel free and so on. Yet, the truth is that they didn’t always look the way we know them today.
The first bike design was created by a German in the 19th century. This type of bike didn’t have a chain, brakes or pedals, being mostly a two handed apparatus. In 1860, some French people added wheels, chains and pedals to their bikes, so they invented a new model, but it was still very difficult to manage. Hence, a few years later, in 1885, the bike with wheels of equal size was ready to take over the world.
