Bicycles, also known as bikes, are portable vehicles with six major parts – the frame, front wheel, rear wheel, saddle, pedals, and handlebars. The predecessor of the modern bicycle was made and patented in 1817 by Karl Drais, a German Baron. It was called a ‘pushbike’ because the rider needed to push his feet against the ground in order to move it. This design was improved with the invention of chain-driven bicycles. Earlier bicycles were made of natural materials like wooden wheels and leather saddles.
