Many of us are familiar with bicycles from childhood. They are used for commuting to work and carrying loads, setting records and embarking on round-the-world journeys. Cyclists can be found almost everywhere. In some countries, there are more bicycles than people. It is so common that we rarely think about when and how it was invented. Meanwhile, this is a relatively recent invention - a good illustration of technological progress in recent centuries and to some extent one of the drivers of this progress. Externally simple, the bicycle has incorporated the most advanced technological achievements - from vulcanized rubber and ball bearings to carbon fiber and computer modeling of aerodynamics.
Every time we look at a bicycle, we admire its elegant simplicity, behind which, if you look closely, you can see the fruits of the labor of a huge number of people. This book provides a brief but vivid story about the history of the bicycle, its evolution, impact on society, and the basic elements of its design.
The history of the bicycle is a story of the most advanced technical achievements, a revolution in minds, and a change in the appearance of cities.
