I want to ride my bicycle: " vintage bikes " :)

Hi everyone! Today i wanna talk about vintage bikes! There are many different models that i really like, what about u?

I'm going to start showing a picture of the first bike:

It has been invented in 1817-1819 and it is called the Draisine or velocipe. The first verifiable claim for a practically used bicycle belongs to German Baron Karl von Drais, a civil servant to the Grand Duke of Baden in Germany.

As you can see there are no pedals, so the people had to pus with the legs to go faster.

This is my favourite one :)

It was invented by Meyer and James Starley and they called it Penny- farthing, because It comes from the British penny and farthing coins, one much larger than the other, so that the side view resembles a penny leading a farthing.

This kind of bicycle was very dangerous so Henry Lawson invented safety bicycle was arguably the most important change in the history of the bicycle. It shifted their use and public perception from being a dangerous toy for sporting young men to being an everyday transport tool for men—and, crucially, women—of all ages.

Aside from the obvious safety problems, the high-wheeler's direct front wheel drive limited its top speed. Accordingly, inventors tried a rear wheel chain drive. Although Henry Lawson invented a rear-chain-drive bicycle in 1879 with his "bicyclette", it still had a huge front wheel and a small rear wheel. Detractors called it "The Crocodile", and it failed in the market.

From 1879 the shape of bicycles did not change much, even if we can find 1000 of new models for different uses.

As i mention before i still love this old school style and as me , many people are still using old style bicycle. i want to show u some pictures:
