When did the bike show up?
In 1818, a German Forester named delaisse, is also an occasional idea, also made a wooden cart, like Siv Lark almost, but he added a front wheel on the handlebar control direction, can change the direction of. But when riding a bike, you still have to use two pedals to push the car forward. At that time the delaisse riding his "pony cub" road test, many people have been ridicule. The emergence of new things will always be laughed at by traditional forces such as that, but human inventors will never stop laughing at them. In 1840, the England Mcmillan, based on the delaisse invention "pony cub", has been improved. He put a crank on the axle of the rear wheel and connected the crank with the front pedal with the connecting rod, and the front and rear wheels were made of iron. The front wheel was big and the rear wheels were small. As a result, the feet of the man really left the ground, changing from the foot alternately to the rolling of the wheels. In 1842, Mcmillan rode this kind of car and ran 20 kilometers a day.By 1861, the French Michaud father and son. The rotation of the pedal plate installed on the front wheel, the car in front of the saddle rack above. They dubbed the car "bicycle" and went out of the way at the Paris fair in 1867, giving the audience an eye opener.
He was impressed by his bicycle. Later, Li Hongzhang's visit, also met a girl riding a bicycle in great depth, novelty, also invited her to New York Hotel tower. The bike in the China on the land for the first time, probably in 1868 (Tongzhi seven years) in November, it was shipped from Europe to make light of travelling a thousand li. It is said that the emperor had a car, he also took the Forbidden City threshold cut off, to ensure that can ride smoothly the Frenchman Siv Lark on a rainy day is after leaching step in the streets when four wheeled carriage splashed with mud, the splash that he whim: four wheeled carriage should be so wide, the carriage along the half cut, four wheels, two wheels turn around...... Thus, in 1791, the first ride of the "Trojan wheel" car was born. The car has two front and rear wooden wheels, with a crossbeam in it, and a stool on it, like a toy. New things just emerging are certainly not perfect. This "Trojan horse" has neither a drive chain nor a steering device, so it needs to be improved.
Bicycles do not have a long history in china. The Chinese first saw bicycles at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when Zhang Deyi, a foreign official of the Qing government, first saw them in europe. He wrote in the diary: "see the tourists have two wheeler, made of steel, big front wheel, small rear wheel, upper cross beam.". People sitting on the beam, two hands on the rudder pedal shaft, motor, with relaxation, disease in horses
