The Bicycle

By: Malik Wilson & Sage weatherwax

History of the bicycle
In 1817 Baron von Drais invented a walking machine that
would help him get around the royal gardens faster: two
same-size in-line wheels, the front one steerable,
mounted in a frame which you straddled.

How was the bike originally made?
The bicycles from the early 1800s were mostly
made from wood, and metal. In the late 1800s
to the early 1900s they added pedals, and extra
wheels. Then in the mid to late 1900s they took
away the extra wheels , added gears ,chains
and the bike was mostly made of metal.
What improvements had to be made to the
product?
The improvements that need to be made was
the bicycles height, and the pedals/axel on the
bicycle.
Why were these improvements made?
these improvements were made because
people were falling off of the bicycle, which was
high in the air; therefore, causing innocent
people to suffer from head collision.
what will be the future have for
bicycles?
No one can predict the future. But we do have
new bikes that have have been revealed from
the company. For example a bike called the GI-
bike.
Who uses the bicycle today?
Everyone uses the bicycle today, unless they
have a vehicle. Bicycles are not just being rode
in America , they're riding all over like in South
America, Africa, Russia, Italy, and etc.
What is the global impact on society of the invention and subsequent
innovations?
Bikes do have negative environmental impacts, particularly
those associated with their production and disposal. Making
frames and other components burns energy, typically non-
renewable fossil fuels, and produces both greenhouse gas
emissions and toxins. While some bike components can be
recycled, others end up in landfills.
