June 3rd World Bicycle Day turned 3 this year.

In the 1870s the bicycle enters another phase. The front wheel got bigger, the rear wheel got smaller. In English, it is called the "Big Wheel", meaning "Big Wheel", and is also known as the "Penny-Farthing". This nomenclature takes its inspiration from the British currency Penny and Farthing.
But despite all these improvements, existing bicycles are not very practical. They are difficult to get on and off. There are security handicaps. It will be necessary to wait for the end of the 19th century to realize these handicaps.

At the end of the 1880’s there is a great revolution:
A new gövde is invented, very similar to the gövde we still use today. The pedal is displaced, no longer on the wheel, but in the center of this new body. The sprocket to which the pedal is attached is connected to the sprocket on the rear wheel with a chain. When a new brake system is added to all these radical changes, the name of this bicycle becomes "Safety Bike".

With Safety Bike, the bicycle is transformed into an easier-to-ride, faster tool. The increase in production and the gradual decline in prices make it no longer an "elite pastime", but a means of transportation for lower income groups.

It is a means of entertainment, sport, transportation, which billions of people have been using and connecting to ever since. Even if it is pushed to the background from time to time, it is rediscovered and helped wherever humanity is in trouble, such as ecological crisis, pandemic, etc.

He is a loyal friend.
Happy World Cycling Day.

June 3rd Dünya Bike Day turns 3 years old this year.

In 2018, the United Nations General Assembly dedicated the day of June 3rd to two wheels. Isn't it amazing that it took so long for one of the most beloved inventions in human history to be allotted a place on the calendar?
In fact, the bicycle itself is a surprisingly recent invention. The wheel, an invention as old as writing, is at least five thousand years old, while the bicycle is only two hundred years old. In fact, there are those who trace the history of the invention back 500 years to Rönesans’tütü

In 1974, it was claimed that the first bicycle design belonged to Rönesans’ icon Leonardo da Vinci. In the Codex Atlanticus, where his sketches and notes were collected, my bicycle track, which until then had gone "unnoticed", was presented as evidence.

However, it was soon discovered that the sketch in question had been added during the restoration of the work between 1960-70.

Although there is still a group of people today who consider the sketch to be original, the general opinion is the other way around. Therefore, the Laufmaschine (Laufmaschine), patented by Baron Karl Von Drais on January 12, 1818, is considered the ancestor of the bicycle. This instrument, consisting of two wheels and a plank, is also called Draisine (Drezin), after the name of its inventor.

Although the drezin is considered the tool of the bicycle, it is actually the ancestor of the scooter. It has no pedals. The feet are still on the ground. It will take about 20 years for the bicycle to have a pedal. Scottish inventor Kirkpatrick MacMillan’s "push pedal system", so to speak, swept the cyclists off their feet. McMillan's pedals don't make a full circular motion, but rather push forward like an automobile pedal. A spindle connected to the pedals dönürür dür the rear wheel.

In the 1860s, the pedal undergoes a new evolution. This time, the pedal is invented to turn the wheel and make a full revolution. Two similar devices are invented simultaneously in Germany and France. The device named "Tretkurbelrad" by a German engineer named Joseph von Baader and the device named "Velocipede" by father and son Michaux represent a critical threshold in the history of cycling. Pierre and Ernest Michaux's invention was also called the "Boneshaker", depending on the emotion felt by the wearer.
