- The walking machine: The first bicycle ever invented was the walking machine which was invented by Baron von Drais in 1817 the walking machine had two same-size wheels front and back. Like a modern bike it was steerable in the front. Instead of pedaling you would push with your feet. And the bike was made out of wood.
- The velocipede or Boneshaker: The velocipede was made in 1865 and got the nickname boneshaker because at the time the roads were made of cobblestone and the bike was made of wood so it was so uncomfortable. The boneshaker was the same as the walking machine but had pedals this time.
- The High wheel Bicycle: The high wheel bicycle was made in 1870, this was the first all metal bike. The difference in the front wheel was bigger than the back wheel. The only problem about that was if there was a stone of object in your way the bike would fly forwards, and since you would be so high up you will get hurt.
