Bicycle

Bicycle is a pedal-driven, human-powered vehicle with two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. Bikes come in many different shapes, sizes, styles and designs. Bicycles can be great gifts for anyone of any age.

Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide, twice as many as automobiles. They are the principal means of transportation in many regions. They also provide a popular form of recreation, and have been adapted for such uses as children's toys, adult fitness, military and police applications, courier services, and competitive sports.

The invention of the bicycle has had an enormous impact on society, both in terms of culture and of advancing modern industrial usage. Several components that eventually played a key role in the development of the automobile were originally invented for the bicycle. Kids to adults love bikes, and they continue to remain popular to this day.
