Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the history of the bicycle. The first bicycle, invented in the early 19th century, had no pedals. Riders pushed their feet against the ground to move forward. Later, in the 1860s, pedals were added to the front wheel, but this made the bicycle difficult to ride because the front wheel was very large. It wasn't until the 1880s that the 'safety bicycle' was introduced, with two wheels of equal size and a chain drive to the rear wheel. This design, which is similar to modern bicycles, became extremely popular and led to a cycling boom in the 1890s.
