Bicycles and its history - Information for learners
<html>
<h3>What has a seat, 2 wheels and moves forward if you pedal it?  Yes, that will be a bicycle.  This can also be a mode of transport, but bicycles did not always look the way the do today.</h3>

<p>There are more than one billion bicycles all over the world and in many countries, it is the preferred type of transport, because the roads are too full of cars and a bicycle will get you there easier.  Also in towns which are not very big, people will rather go by bike.</p>
<blockquote>Bicycles are used for transport, recreation, competitive racing, courier delivery and a range of other tasks. </blockquote>
<p>Bicycles are also used in competitions and the most well know bike race is the &#x27;Tour de France&#x27;.  It started in 1903 and is attended by riders from all over the world.  The race is over 3 weeks and it even though the route changes every year, it goes through the Pyrenees, the Alps and ends in Paris.</p>

<p>There are different types of bicycles like the &#x27;tandem&#x27; where two people can ride on, the &#x27;unicycle&#x27; with only one wheel and the &#x27;tricycle&#x27; that has three wheels.  Even if they are not the same as the traditional bicycle, they are still referred to as bikes.</p>
<p>You will pedal the bicycle and the chain will turn the wheels.  You will need about the same amount of energy if you pedal a slow to medium pace as when you walk.  The faster you pedal, the more energy you will need and the faster the bike will go.</p>
<blockquote>To get efficient use of their pedaling, cyclists use a high gear when going downhill, a medium gear on flat surfaces and a low gear when going uphill. </blockquote>
<p>Different activities are done with bikes and the one you will use in a race will be different from one you will use going cross country.  For this you will need a bike with a good suspension.  Before you buy a bike, you must first decide what you will use it for.</p>
<p>A long time ago, before people started calling it a bicycle, they called it a &#x27;velocipede&#x27;, I am very glad they changed that.</p>
<p>Bicycles has changed a lot through history, from the bikes that had to be pushed by the rider&#x27;s feet on the ground, to the Penny Farthing to the bikes we know today.  It was only in the 20 th century that bicycles and riding and competitions became much more popular.</p>
