Thoroughly Modern : the bicycle.
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
A quaint documentary looking at the beginnings of the modern bicycle and how it revolutionized late Victorian and Edwardian society. Many of the first models such as the 'Penny Farthing' were very difficult to ride and potentially hazardous to the rider. Our 'eccentric' experts show us just how it was done and stage some very old-fashioned bike rides for our benefit.

Why don't we have TODAY the SUNBEAM oil bath chain case bicycle?I'm sooo sick and tired of cleaning the chain and sprockets... Not to mention buying almost 2-3 years a new set of transmission components like chain and sprockets...

Bicycle, the most efficient way to travel. 912 miles per gallon at 15 mph. At that speed, the wind resistance takes up the most energy loss. If you ride slower like 10 mph, it could be twice more.
