What about three weels?

While the men were risking their necks on the high wheels, ladies, confined to their long skirts and corsets, could take a spin around the park on an adult tricycle. These machines also afforded more dignity to gentlemen such as doctors and clergymen.

Bicycle on Wikipedia

Bicycle:

  • A bicycle, often called a bike or cycle.
  • It`s a human-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle.
  • Having two wheels attached to a frame one behind the other.
  • A bicycle rider is called a cyclist, or bicyclist.
  • Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century in Europe.
  • As of 2003, more than a billion have been produced worldwide.

The basic shape and configuration of a typical upright, or safety bicycle, has changed little since the first chain-driven model was developed around 1885.[3] But many details have been improved, especially since the advent of modern materials and computer-aided design. These have allowed for a proliferation of specialized designs for many types of cycling.

Americans use their bicycles for less than one percent of all urban trips. Europeans bike in cities a lot more often. In Italy 5 percent of all trips are on bicycle, 30 percent in the Netherlands, and seven out of eight Dutch people over age 15 have a bike.
