1880, Adult Tricycle
While young men were risking their necks on the high wheels, ladies and dignified gentlemen such as doctors and clergymen of the 1880s favoured the less risky tricycle. Many innovations for tricycles eventually found their way into the automobile, such as rack and pinion steering, the differential, and band brakes, the forerunners to drum brakes. -
1890, First "Safety Bike" invented
This was called the safety bike because it was more stable and made of stronger parts. This was the first mass-produced bike that was affordable for the masses.
