Tricycle and Bikes: mobility evolution
The journey of Tricycles and Bikes dates back to the late 18th century.Adults initially designed the first tricycle, but children quickly embraced it for its stability and ease of use. This three-wheeled vehicle laid the foundation for the modern tricycle, which is now a staple in early childhood development programs.
The evolution of Bikes is equally fascinating. The modern bicycle originated from the “draisine,” a pedal-less, two-wheeled device invented by Karl von Drais in 1817. This invention marked a significant milestone in transportation history, paving the way for the bicycles we know today.
