History and evolution of the bicycle

Invented to meet the transportation needs of populations, the bicycle has evolved over the centuries. Did you know that Leonardo da Vinci is said to have drawn a prototype bicycle as early as 1493? Although this drawing is disputed, the official history of the bicycle begins with the draisine in 1818, followed by pedal-powered velocipedes in the 19th century. In 1870, the famous penny-farthing marked a key milestone, followed by the modern bicycle with two equal wheels in the 1880s.

With the rise of competitive and recreational cycling, new categories of bicycles emerged: road bikes for athletic performance, MTB for rough terrain, and city bikes for urban commuting. Today, cycling continues to innovate with electric models that offer valuable assistance for long distances.
