Good morning. Today we're going to discuss the history of the bicycle. Now, many people think the bicycle was invented in the 19th century, but in fact, early versions appeared in the late 18th century in France. However, these early machines had no pedals, and riders pushed their feet against the ground. The first pedal-driven bicycle, called the velocipede, was developed in the 1860s. It had a wooden frame and iron tires, which made it very uncomfortable on rough roads. Later, in the 1880s, John Dunlop invented the pneumatic tire, which greatly improved comfort and speed. This innovation led to the bicycle's popularity as a practical means of transport.
