Bicycle history: The swallow
With the creation of this model, the modern bicycle was born, with 2 wheels of the same size, chain drive and removable air-filled tires. The bicycle was the first fast means of locomotion for policemen; the nickname "swallow" was given to them because of their [...].
The history of the bicycle: the kangaroo in 1884
It uses the same solutions as for the big twin, but with a smaller front wheel (for greater stability) and a chain drive (on the front wheel) to compensate for the loss of speed.
The history of the bicycle: Lawson's bicycle in 1880
This was the first bicycle to feature a chain drive from the crankset to the rear wheel. A kind of gear, larger at the front (the chainring) than at the rear (the pinion), turns the rear wheel faster than the pedals, enabling this type of machine to go fast even without a giant wheel.
The history of cycling: The big bi in 1870
