The genesis of the bicycle goes back many centuries. In the 19th century, the Karlsruhe forester Drais developed the predecessor of today's bicycle, the draisine. This was the first steerable means of transport powered by muscle power with two wheels running in tandem. Drais himself called his "bicycle" a running machine. The front wheel was steerable and the driver of the running machine sat between the two wheels and had to push off with his feet on the ground. Nowadays, these running wheels are often seen again in children who can not yet ride a bike and can playfully train their balance with the help of the running wheel.

Historical development: from the running wheel to the bicycle

With the development of the pedal crank on the front wheel, the running wheel mutated into a bicycle. To increase the speed of the bicycle, the penny-farthing was first developed in 1870. The front wheel of the penny-farthing was significantly larger than the rear wheel. However, the penny-farthing did not catch on because of the high risk of injury when getting on and off the bicycle and when riding over bumps. The chain drive invented by the Frenchman Sergent in 1887 heralded the demise of the penny-farthing. The chain drive on the rear wheel of the bicycle meant a decoupling of drive and steering. It made the bicycle easier to steer, made it more stable, and made it much safer to ride due to the change in seating position between the front and rear wheels. With the development of the first bicycle hub by Ernst Sachs, the bicycle literally gained momentum. Until then, the pedals of the bicycle always had to be pedaled because there was no freewheel, but the "Torpedo" freewheel hub with integrated coaster brake developed by Ernst Sachs in 1903 provided a remedy. Four years later, Fichtel und Sachs introduced the first 2-speed hub gears for bicycles. In addition to the hub gears, there are also derailleur gears. The Frenchman Paul de Vivie is considered to be its inventor. Frustrated by the rigid gear ratio of his bicycle, which could not be reduced for uphill travel, he constructed a second chainring on the front of his bicycle. He also tinkered with a front derailleur that allowed him to change gearing while riding. Gone were the days when other cyclists would overtake him on a hill. Later, he added more sprockets to the front chainring of his bicycle. The derailleur was further developed by the Italian Campagnolo. Like Paul de Vivie, he was also a passionate cyclist. Frustrated by the outcome of a bicycle race, he tinkered with derailleur gears until he was able to change several gears using derailleur gears. Campagnolo is the founder of the eponymous bicycle company, which still enjoys world renown among cycling enthusiasts. Another milestone in the history of the bicycle is the invention of the rubber tube. If the stories are to be believed, the Scotsman John Loyd Dunlop was so annoyed by the noise that his son's tricycle was making that he developed a kind of pneumatic tire, which he filled with air and placed around the rims. Actually, this tells the story of the origin of the bicycle in broad strokes. Of course, much has happened in the course of the last century in terms of further development.

The triumph of the bicycle continues

Bicycles became lighter and lighter without losing stability. Gearshift, brakes, lighting and other accessories have been revised and refined. But the general design of all bicycles has remained about the same. As a means of transportation, the bicycle still enjoys great popularity today. It is probably the least expensive means of transportation. However, it is not only easy on its owner's wallet, but also on the environment. In view of rising gasoline prices and increased environmental awareness, more and more working people are switching from cars to bicycles or public transportation. This change from the passenger car to the bicycle is supported not least also by the health insurance companies, which hope for healthier and more economical members by the change to the bicycle.

Who has the choice, has the agony: Different bicycle types for most diverse areas of application in the offer with velondo.com

As diverse as the areas of application of a bicycle are the types of bicycles available on the market. There are city bikes, road bikes, mountain bikes, BMX bikes, trekking bikes, cross bikes, hybrid bikes, e-bikes, special bikes for women and children, tricycles for the elderly and people with disabilities, recumbent bikes with 2 or 3 and not to forget unicycles. The variety of types and brands is overwhelming. Finding the right bike for your personal needs is not that easy. What do I want to do with the bike? Do I ride a lot or do I ride little? Do I ride only on paved roads or mainly off-road? Once I've answered these questions for myself, I've roughly determined the type of bike I need. If I only ride off-road, I need a mountain bike. If I'm looking for a bike for my daily commute to work, I should look at a city bike. If I want to ride my new bike not only on paved roads but also off-road, trekking or cross bikes come into question. Road bikes are more for sporty, ambitious riders who are looking for speed.

Electric bikes are on the rise among young and old

Electric bikes appeal not only to older people, but also more and more younger people can get excited about electric bikes (also called pedelecs or e-bikes). Electric bike or electric bicycle are generic terms for bicycles with motor assistance. On a pedelec, an electric motor assists the cyclist with a maximum of 250 watts or a top speed of 25 km/h. If you want to go faster, you have to pedal faster. From a legal point of view, pedelecs have the same status as bicycles. I.e. there is no helmet obligation for these motor-assisted bicycles and also a driver's license is not necessary. In addition to the normal pedelecs, there is also the so-called S-class - the fast pedelecs. Their motor support is only switched off at a maximum speed of 45 km/h. For this type, you need an operating license, a moped driver's license or another valid driver's license. E-bikes in the narrower sense can also be ridden without muscle power. An electric drive that can be started via a twist grip or shift knob then provides the necessary speed. However, if you want to go faster than 20 km/h, it is again the e-bike, self is the man or woman.

Great selection of suitable bicycle accessories in the velondo.com store

Has one finally decided on a type of bike, the agony of choice continues, because not all racing bikes are the same, trekking bikes are not the same and so on. First of all, the right frame height is important for maximum riding pleasure. Important for determining the optimal frame height is not only the height of the cyclist, but also his stride length. You can conveniently determine the frame height HERE. Once you have determined the appropriate frame height, the fine-tuning begins: gears, brakes, lights, saddle, cup holder, anti-theft device, luggage rack, fender, bell, etc. For a bicycle to be roadworthy, it must be equipped with the following components: a bell with a bright sound, two independently acting braking systems, bicycle lighting (front and rear reflectors) and front and rear reflective bicycle pedals Further accessories are not mandatory but usually very useful.
