History of bikes:
The forerunner of the bicycle, the dressage, will change the idea of transporting people, though its inventor will be accused of causing droughts by his two-wheeler.
The first bike that could really be ridden was made in 1817 by the German baron Karl Drais, 1785-1851, with the idea of completely changing the way people move. Nearly two hundred years ago, on June 12, 1817, Drizz, with his bicycle, was able to cross the distance from the German city of Maynheim to the Schweizers Relayshouse. It was the first trip of a man on a bike.
In the coming months, Drizz will successfully navigate numerous distances on his invention. He will be called Laufmaschine, but he gets the name of the dresser with age, which is derived from Drizz's name. The dressage, though the first bike, didn't really have pedals. The driver bounced off the ground with his feet, thus moving the vehicle on two connected wheels. However, he was really moving, keeping his balance.
Drizzle was one of those inventions that preceded the Industrial Revolution - at a young age he had various furnishings with the Duke of Baden, was a loading and guardian of the forest, so that after the discovery of the bicycle, his social position and finances would be greatly improved. He received an honorary academic title, a title and a lifetime pension from Duke Karl.
Although secured for its two-wheeled invention, it will turn out that for the rest of his life, Drajza will suffer all sorts of bad things and life crafts. After one affair, Drizz is persecuted and embarks on an exciting five-year expedition to Brazil. In old age, he relinquished his title during the revolution of 1848, and the following year he was stripped of his pension by the authorities of the province of Baden. That is why in 1851 he died in poverty.
Interestingly, during his lifetime, Drizz was attacked that his invention disrupted the natural balance because humans no longer move on two legs, leading to the great droughts that prevailed during those years. But despite this, Drizz managed to take the first step toward a revolution in transportation.
Before the Drizzle, there were multiple attempts to build a bicycle, and the first ideas were related to Leonardo da Vinci. Reportedly, in 1790, the French Count De Sivrak devised a similar machine, which he called "fast", since he thought it was a device that transports people fast, that is, fast. But it has not been proven that he was able to drive it.
Dressage quickly became very popular, but the first truly widespread bike was made in 1870 by James Starley in England. Since it did not use gears and chain, with this bike one pedal turn was equal to one wheel spin. That is why the pedal wheel had to be large in order to move more easily.
Although ugly and inconvenient to ride, this bike has become very popular. It was named "penny-farting" because it resembles two English coins - the penny is the largest and the farting is the smallest English coin.
One of the first models of bicycles with gears and two equal wheels was manufactured in 1885 under the name "Rover". Since it used today's chain-assisted transmission system, this bike moved very fast and people started buying it en masse.
From 1900 until today, the look of the two-wheeled bike hasn’t changed much. Interestingly, air tires were first used on bicycles and then on wheels of cars.

The Chanel Bike targets customers who care about quality details like quilted leather steering wheel handles, a seat made with the legendary Brook Brothers, and a Chanel-signed leather tire pump.KGS 'Tier 3 ′ Bikes
The man behind this high-end bike is Kevin Saunders. Perhaps the name KGS Tier 3 indicates that $ 30,000 should be counted for the pleasure of Saturday's ride on it. Although a decent car can be bought for this money and there is room for only one passenger on the Tier 3, its purpose is not for transportation services. Its cutting-edge styling packaged in an engineering masterpiece guarantees ride quality but also adds immeasurable value to the potential customer's life.BERU f1 Systems Factor 001 Bicycle
BERU f1 Systems Factor 001 Bycicle is perhaps the 001 way to empty the piggy bank. The £ 20,000 will be yours, and the BERU f1 Systems team will assure you with warm words of support that it's worth every penny. It will certainly emphasize that there is so much quality equipment, innovative design and many new ways of conducting serious cardiovascular training for professional athletes, as well as recreational athletes, that you will not be able to resist. The weight of the whole bike under 7kg may be less than the weight of the watermelon you would take from the market to the house, but what a delivery it will be! Knowing that it comes equipped with a standard on-board computer, performance monitoring system and GPS and radio transmitter, you will be able to separately inspect / control each segment of the Tour de plac stage (Giro di Market, if you prefer).Litespeed Blade - Kit Bike
Depending on the options you choose, this Litespeed Blade bike can fetch a price tag of £ 25,317 (without being dipped in gold or lacquered with diamond dust). It is amazing that when designing this bike, they had in mind primarily the ride, that is, its quality. At least they put emerald caps on tire valves or something.Electro-assisted bike from eROCKIT
The nano-phosphate lithium battery should be sufficient to eroCKIT chase the city for about 10 years or 50,000km. Of course, not in a piece because only nuclear drives can do this, but a single charge of this battery can last 60 - 80km (depending on your preference and / or willingness to pedal). Only ten eROCKITs were manufactured in 2009, so you don't have to be afraid to meet the owners of the same craving items on your favorite bike. Another reason why you shouldn't be scared is a $ 44,000 suitcase that not everyone has the habit of changing for a bike.
Celebrity gold bike
This bike is made for the celebrity market, especially considering that it is designed for the 'cyclist who has everything' and comes with his personal guard who is in charge of standing by the bike and guarding it whenever the owner leaves it in a public place. The 24-carat gold-plated handmade machine is just an extra spice of exclusivity.Whom Kimera
The Koga company developed this bike for Dutch young hope Olympic cycling Thea Bosa. According to Koga, they spent $ 1 million to develop this unique bike. According to the report, Koga Kimera has the lowest air resistance of all the world's bikes. There might also be some drawbacks to this super-bike - namely, the ultra-rigid frame needed to reach higher speeds is dirty, so the ride won't be particularly comfortable. If you are ready to give up comfort while driving, consider the fact that there is no brake, and only one speed contributes to the question of whether this vehicle is for you.Enigma Elle Bicycle is charged with diamonds
Specially commissioned, especially made, this diamond - gold Elle bike captures attention. Famous jeweler Nicholas James has been commissioned to design this diamond-laden bike from a customer who wanted it to be a surprise gift for the biker-crazy half. After accepting the job offer, Nicholas headed to Enigma, where he acquired a high-end titanium Elle frame known for its light weight and a design specifically designed for women in geometry and dimensions.
Rumor has it that Mr Lee (Mrs Foo-Kune's husband) ordered this unique bike with a titanium diamond trim and 18-carat gold trim parts because the previous one was STOLEN. Oh dear Mr. Lee, make sure you make a particularly sturdy padlock for your bike this time too!Madonna 5.9 SL - 7-Diamond
Named 7-Diamond (and not just because it's brilliantly conceived), this one-and-only bike made with 7 man-made diamonds (don't ask) and 300 white diamonds was sold in 2005 to an anonymous buyer at the Lance Armstrong Foundation gala events. The bike was designed and built to highlight Lance's seventh victory at the Tour de France. The joint recognition of Trek and Nike, jeweler Alan Friedman and artist Lenny Future, was estimated at $ 60,000 and sold at a charity auction for $ 75,000.Aurumania's Gold Bike Crystal Edition

The finest leather sic is made by the Brooks brothers, and the chocolate brown leather handles on the steering wheel are hand quilted.
