HISTORY bicycle

Definition

Bicycles are simple transportation of objects, without the motor so that in Indonesia known as the train winds

History, ancestors are thought to originate from the French bicycle. According to the newspaper's history, the country has been since the beginning of the 18th century two-wheel transportation to know who called velocipede. Years, velocipede be the only term that refers to the results of two-wheeled vehicle design that is certain, yet familiar iron construction. The model is also still "primitive". Some say without cranks, pedals steering stick (handlebars). They say cranks and handlebars are familiar, but the construction of the timber.

Is a German named the Baron von Drais Karls Sauerbronnt noteworthy as one falsifies velocipede. In 1818, von Sauerbronn create two-wheeled transportation to support the work efficiency. As the head gamekeeper Baden, he does need high mobility transportation. However, the model seems still ambiguous, between bicycles and horse-drawn carriage. So that people nicknamed the Baron's creation as a dandy horse.

New in 1839, Kirkpatrick MacMillan, Scottish-born blacksmith, made the "engine" for the bike. Certainly not a machine like that of a motorcycle, but more like a driver that enabled crank, passing up and down movement of the foot pedals. MacMillan also had "dared" to connect the crank had to stick steering (simple handlebars).

While noting efforts to improve the encyclopedia Britannica.com French inventor, Ernest Michaux in 1855, by making ballast crank, until the bike is more stable rate. The more perfect after the Frenchman, Pierre Lallement (1865) reinforce the wheel by adding iron circle around it (now known as the rim or wheel). Lallement also introduce bike with front wheel is larger than the rear wheel.

But the most significant advances occur when perforated steel-making technology is found, following a good growing iron grafting techniques, as well as the discovery of tire rubber as raw material. However, the factor of safety and comfort remain unsolved. Due to suspension technology (per and so on) has not been found, wobble and shake frequently make a buck lumbago. Half joking, community bike dub Lallement as boneshaker (bone shaker).

So do not be surprised if in the era of the 1880s, three wheel bikes that are considered safer for women and men whose feet are too short for conventional pedaling become so popular. Trend bicycles back worldwide after founding the first bicycle factory in Coventry, England in 1885. The factory was established James Starley is increasingly finding momentum after 1888 John Dunlop find wind tire technology. The pace of the bike was no longer shaking.

Other findings, such as brakes, gear ratio can be changed, chain, handlebars that can be moved, and many more add to the appeal of the bike. Since then, millions of people began to make the bike as a means of transportation, with America and Europe as a pioneer. Although slowly, his role began to be removed Cars and Motorcycles, bicycles still have observer. Even the notoriously rabid fans.

Types

Now the bike has a variety of names and models. Grouping is usually based on the function and size.

-Used mountain bike for off-road with a strong frame, has a suspension, and a combination of speeds up to 27.

-Used road bike for road racing, the overall light weight, smooth tires to reduce friction with the road, the combination of speed up to 27

Mountain Bike History

Mountain bike is actually a modification of the bike is used on the highway. Road bike made only to be used as a means of transportation on the road. If used in a mountainous area (on a steep road) bike will easily damaged. This makes some people strive to create a strong bike for all types of terrain.

Mountain bike, or better known as MTB (Mountain Bike) or ATB (All Terrain Bike), is a bike designed specifically to be able to survive in the past the mountain areas have a bumpy road and a lot of rocks. This bike has a design that is wider than the tire road bike, which aims to get better traction.

There is much debate about the origin of the first mountain bike use. According to some accounts, the first mountain bike tested by the Buffalo Soldiers, one part of the US Army. This bike was prepared for through the streets of the mountains by the US military. This bike trials conducted by a soldier who carries an officer of Missoulla passing through Montana heading to Yellowstone on the way home and away. The trial was conducted in August 1896.

In the range of 1930 to 1950, Joe breeeze develop versatile bike concept. Joe Breeze, who lived in the area of Marin County, California, is developing a bar-tire bikes with high quality. This bike tires 'balloon' with a degree of speed. Joe artificial bike had become a trend in the future.

In the span of 1951 to 1956, a community in France named Velo Cross Club parison (VCCP), which consists of 20 young people who love cycling, holding a sporting event which became the basis of the sport mountain bike at the moment. In the sports activities, all members of VCCP using a specially modified bikes for the event, which was given the name of the French 650-B.

In 1953, John Finley Scott of the United States to develop a bike that is the forerunner of the modern mountain bike manufacture. The bikes were developed by John Finley Scott was named 'Woodsie Bike'. This bike uses a frame with diamond shape design developed by Schwin World. In addition, this bike tires using tire in the wind. To improve security, the bike is also equipped with flat handle bars which serves as a safety and bicycle amplifier while exploring the mountains.

To adjust the speed and acceleration of this bike, there derailleur gears that allows the rider to set it. This can reduce the burden on the driver so it is not too heavy to run. As for security and maximize results braking, then the bike is equipped with cantilever brakes.

Around the 1970s, there is a bicycle community in California, United States that participate in the development of mountain bikes. The community was named The Cupertino Riders aka the Morrow Dirt Club. This community developed a mountain bike equipped with thumbshift operation. In addition, a community located in Cupertino, California is applying the brakes are used on motorcycles. The disc-shaped brake is mounted on a mountain bike makes. This bike capable of winning the championship that was held at that time. But this only lasted until 1994.

In 1977 Joe Breeze back 'playing' with the concepts of a mountain bike. This time Joe developed a mountain bike that uses a lightweight metal material for artificial body parts bike. In addition to using the lightweight metal, artificial bike Joe is also equipped with a tire size is quite big. Ban the use of measuring 26 inches x 2â ...> inches. Type of tires used by Joe is kind Knobby tires Uniroyal.

While the rim used on this bike is Schwin S2 rim. It is also equipped with Phil Wood hubs. This bike is quite attractive. Joe Breeze eventually make 10 pieces of this type bike in June 1978.

In the span of the late 1970s until the early 1980s, many bicycle industry began to develop a production bike with the use of high-tech lightweight materials. If Joe Breeze did it in 1978, another case with Tom Ritchey. Together with Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelley, Tom Ritchey form a firm that mempruduksi bike with the latest technology. Company by the name of this mountainbikes took part in the trade industry exhibition in 1983. The design of the bike produced by this company taking on the basis of road bike. Only on this mountain bike used a wider frame and fork brace tire well adapted to withstand a wider tire.

To the handlebar is also different. On this mountain bike handlebar used straight, without any curved like the bike to the highway. In addition, there are some parts of this bike that takes the design of the existing BMX bike.

In 1983 for the first time mass produced mountain bikes. Mass production mountain bike was first carried out in the country of Japan by the company Specialized bicycle industry. The model used in this bike took the design of the bike the creation of Tom Ritchey. The difference in this bike has been used 15 pieces of gear. This further enhances the performance of the mountain bike, also make the rider more easily use it.
