The bicycle was invented in the 19th century. Before having that name, given by a Belgian newspaper, she had other names, like tricycle. In the beginning, bicycles did not have pedals: the user had to place his feet on the ground and push the bicycle with the movement of his legs. In the second half of the 19th century, mechanical systems with pedals appeared. After 1888, bicycles had tube tires. Throughout the 20th century, they were perfected to current models, which have brakes, belt system, gearshift and much more!
