Bicycle by the stairs - a photo on Flickriver

            Bicycle near the stairs in the park, in the city of Konakovo, Tver region. Russia.
The main attraction of the city is nature. The park is located in a pine forest on the banks of the Volga. A very cozy clean place with numerous paths, gazebos and wooden figures. There are few cars in the city, everyone uses bicycles.

In 1817, the German professor Baron Karl von Drez from Karlsruhe created and in 1818 patented the first two-wheeled scooter, which he called the "running machine" (Laufmaschine). The Dreza scooter was two-wheeled, equipped with a steering wheel and looked as a whole like a bicycle without pedals; the frame was wooden.
The first bike, similar to those used today, was called the Rover - "Drifter" (or "Tramp"). It was made in 1884 by English inventor John Kemp Starley and has been in production since 1885. Unlike the penny-farthing bike, the Rover had a chain drive to the rear wheel, wheels of the same size, and the driver sat between the wheels.
The first folding bicycle was made in 1878, the first aluminum ones were made in the 1890s, and the first ligerad (sometimes called a rikambent, a bicycle that can be ridden in a recumbent position) in 1895 (and in 1914 mass production of liguerad began by the company " Peugeot ").
Bicycles continued to improve in the second half of the 20th century. In 1974, mass production of titanium bicycles began, and in 1975 - from carbon fiber. In 1983, the cycling computer was invented. In the early 1990s, indexed gearshift systems became widespread.
