A person who rides a bicycle is called a cyclist or a bicyclist.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide. They are the principal means of transportation in many regions. They also provide a popular form of recreation, and have been adapted for such uses as children's toys, adult fitness, military and police applications, courier services, and competitive sports.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The basic shape and configuration of a typical bicycle has changed little since the first chain-driven model was developed around 1885.

Several components that eventually played a key role in the development of the automobile were originally invented for the bicycle - e.g., ball bearings, pneumatic tires, chain-driven sprockets, spoke-tensioned wheels, paved roads (replacing cobblestone) etc.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p></td>Sample Business Planshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16089093847588986185noreply@blogger.com0
