The surprising history of bikes

July 7, 2016 by Andrew Leave a Comment

We’re a fan of the humble push bike here at In Pure Spirit. Why? They’re green and good for you. Not only do pedal cycles not eat up fossil fuels but they don’t take up much space on the road.

Did you know the bicycle will be 200 next year? Baron von Drais’ “Draisine” was invented in 1817 and is considered the first bike.
