The Origin of the Traditional Name of No.28 Bicycle

The traditional Barr bicycle is named after the diameter of the wheel.

First, the characteristics of traditional Barr bicycles

The traditional Barr bicycle is a kind of bicycle with a long history. Its name comes from the fact that the diameter of its wheels is 28 inches. One inch is 2.53995 cm, so 28 inches is about 7 1. 1 186 cm.

This kind of bicycle has bigger wheels, longer body and smoother riding than modern bicycles. Its frame structure is stronger, can bear more weight, and is very suitable for carrying goods. It is also the first choice of many people because it is economical, durable and reliable.

Second, the development history of the traditional 28 th bicycle

The prototype of traditional Barr bicycle can be traced back to 179 1. At that time, a Frenchman named Sifraji built a wooden two-wheeled bicycle with a bench in the middle. Without steering gear and transmission chain, he can only rely on the rider to push forward. He called this two-wheeled vehicle "Trojan Horse Wheel".

18 18, German delaisse improved the two-wheeled vehicle on the basis of Sifrak. He added a handlebar to the front wheel to control the direction, so that the two-wheeled vehicle can turn. He called this two-wheeled vehicle a "treadmill".

1840, British Macmillan further improved the two-wheeled vehicle on the basis of delaisse. He added cranks and pedals to the rear wheels, and made frames and wheels with steel spokes and steel bars. In this way, the two-wheeled vehicle can move forward by the rider stepping on the pedal without stepping on the ground. He called this two-wheeled vehicle "mechanical horse".

186 1 year, the French Michaud and his son changed the structure of the two-wheeled vehicle on the basis of Macmillan. They installed pedals on the front wheels and put saddles on them. In this way, the two-wheeled vehicle can move forward by the rider turning the front wheel, but it also increases the difficulty of balance and control. They called this two-wheeled vehicle "bicycle" and exhibited it at Paris Expo 1867.

1869, after seeing French bicycles, Renault, England, felt that bicycles were too heavy and began to ponder how to make them lighter.

Renault used steel spokes to tighten rims as wheels and thin steel bars as frames. The front wheel is made big, the rear wheel is made small, and the saddle is placed on the rear wheel. In this way, the cyclist turns the rear wheel, and the bicycle can move forward at a faster speed. He called this kind of bike "stilt bike".

1886, stahly in England improved the bicycle on the basis of Renault. He made the front and rear wheels almost the same size, and installed pedals and chains on the rear wheel. In this way, the cyclist can move forward by turning the chain bicycle, and the balance and control are easier. He called this kind of bicycle "safe bicycle", and produced and popularized it in large quantities, which opened up a broad prospect for bicycles.
