Pioneer of Modern Schwinn Bicycles

No one knows when the timeliness of the bike on this earth. Since long time there was an ancient vehicle which has something like a bicycle. At the time people know the simplest scooter was in the year 1790, long before the existing vehicles can be classified as a bicycle. In the 19th century form of bicycle wheels only one that was built by Louis Baudry de Saunier in France, then that's what attracted the people as the early history of bicycles.

In 1886, enhanced by the presence of bicycles Germany Baron Karl von Drais, which since 1816 has been riding a bike to work. Baron is a patented design of the velocipede, and currently can be seen in Paleis het Loo museum in Apeldoorn the Netherlands. In 1840 the Scottish Blacksmith Kirkpatrick MacMillan in cooperation with von Drais adding machine on wheels to ride a bike.

Around 1850an and 1860an, Frenchman Ernest Michaux and Pierre Lallement make a bike with a different design, by putting the pedal to the front wheels, and have used frames made of steel, while the wheels are made of wood with metal tires. Lallement immigrated to America, where he patented his invention of bicycles in 1866. In the 1870s a man named James Starley bicycles Lallement changing the look, by placing the saddle in a balanced way above the pedals. This primitive bicycle in human history. This bike is very difficult to drive, very high saddle so pretty dangerous if dropped. In addition, where bicycle handlebar steering wheel and pedals located on the front wheel of a big problem and less comfortable.

Then in 1885 together Starley JH Lawson and Shergold solved this problem by introducing the chain, two wheels, and lowered the saddle by adding the seat tube, and then make a diamond frame models, and referred to as the modern bicycle in those days. With this new model, the bike will be safer for driving.

In 1888 Scotsman John Boyd Dunlop introduced the latest bicycle tire. Not long after it was made freewheel. Year 1898 found ways bicycle brake brake system and operating the gear by hand. At this time any cable system was established to attract finger braking system.

The success of the development cycle cannot be separated from the Englishman Frank Bowden and Ignaz Schwinn. Bowden opened the Raleigh Company in Nottingham in the 1890s. We were able to produce as many as 30,000 bikes a year. While Schwinn moved to the United States and similar companies Bowden founded in Chicago in 1895. Schwinn did redesign the look of the bike in order to drive more comfortable with adding rubber to the saddle, bicycles down the bar, ordered the manufacturers of rubber tires, change the structure of the bike to make it more interesting, etc. Schwinn bicycle work much favored by the community and until the 20th century to the latest model of this bike became the main transportation for millions of people in the world.
