Description: | Modern bicycles are based on the safety bicycle, which was developed in the 1880s. The wheels are of the same size, and the rear wheel is driven by a chain. This made it safer and easier to ride than a penny farthing bicycle. When pneumatic tyres were introduced in 1888 it also became more comfortable. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East leisure | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
