The modern bicycle has a long and varied history. 

It began its development with the velocipedes or bone-shakers of the nineteenth century, so it has a 200-year pedigree.

The next changes came about with the introduction of high-wheeled bicycles in the late Victorian period. 

These were commonly known as penny-farthings because like the coins one wheel was far larger than the other. 

Yet even then riding was still unaffordable for the great majority of people, and it would take many years before bikes became cheap enough for all.

Although bikes have not changed design for many years now, today’s versions are without doubt faster, lighter and more reliable than those of the past. 

Indeed, it is obvious to all that cycling is presently going through a golden age. 

The conjunction of new materials and advanced manufacturing methods should bring about additional technological advances; furthermore, as the price of bikes goes down, the chance to own and enjoy a ‘conveyance’ will be available to more people than ever before.
