An invention created before the 20th century: The bicycle


A bicycle, bike or pushbike is a vehicle with two wheels, one behind the other. A person who rides a bicycle is called a cyclist or a bicyclist.

Bicycles were introduced on 19th century, and they're the principal mains of transportation in many regions. They are also a popular form of entertainment, and had been adapted to become a children's toy, adult fitness or bicycle racing.

The first bicycle was introduced by Drais, in Paris in 1818. In the early 186os, the bicycle was adapted in a new way by Pierre Lallement. They finally changed again the design by reducing the front wheel diameter and sending the seat back.

Nowadays, the bike is a great way to do exercise and almost everyone has got one and knows how to ride it.
