Bicycles from another era
It was the year 1870 when they appeared what they called velocipede (in Latin means, fast feet)
Today this piece seems strange and insecure.
But it was a great step for humanity.
A means of clean transport and without noise.
This one that we have here for many years will surely have an interesting story to tell.

Bicicletas de otra época
Bicicletas de otros tiempos.
Corría el año 1870 cuando aparecieron lo que se llamaron velocípedo (en latín significa, pies rápidos)
Hoy esta pieza nos parece rara e insegura.
Pero fue un gran paso para la humanidad.
Un medio de trasporte limpio y sin ruido.
Esta que tenemos aquí tiene muchos años seguro que tendrá una historia interesante que contar.
This is already more evolved and looks more like modern ones.
But it also has many years.
With its handlebar type bull horns.
His saddle made of leather and pine nuts.
With it you had to feel like you were flying.
Esta ya está más evolucionada y se parece más a las modernas.
Pero también tiene muchos años.
Con su manillar tipo cuernos de toro.
Su sillín de piel y piñones.
Con ella te tenías que sentir como si volaras.
Then there are the ladies' bicycles.
The bar is lower so it can be lowered comfortably.
In those times that dressed as a lake with refajos and sallas.
The ladies in those times had a career ahead, be like men.
Luego están las bicicletas de las damas.
Ellas la barra está más abajo para que se pueda bajar con comodidad.
En aquellos tiempos que se vestía de lago con refajos y sallas.
Las damas en aquellos tiempos tenían una carrera por delante, ser igual que los hombres.
The children did not miss the new fashion either.
These are something different.
The bicycle was a horse and the children could dream of Indians and cowboys.
To think that they were in the meadow and were free.
I imagine that only well-off children had it since at that time poverty was with the workers and this was a modern and expensive contraption.
Here we can see that it is almost perfect, the horse still keeps its mane tail.
How many dreams made over him.
Los niños tampoco se perdían la nueva moda.
Estas son algo diferentes.
La bicicleta era un caballo y los niños podían soñar con indios y vaqueros.
Pensar que estaban en la pradera y eran libres.
Imagino que solo los niños pudientes lo tenían ya que en aquellos tiempos la pobreza estaba con los trabajadores y esto era un artilugio moderno y caro.
Aquí podemos ver que casi esta perfecta el caballo todavía conserva su cola de crin.
Cuantos sueños realizados encima de el .
Here is almost the normal bicycle
Its seat with springs makes bumps feel less.
A pretty horn alerts the passers-by that she arrives.
Which is light and silent.
Its already light metal frame and thinner wheels.
Also the back grill to bring the packages of purchases.
Aquí ya casi es la bicicleta normal
Su sillín con muelles hacen que los baches se sientan menos.
Una bonita bocina alerta a los paseantes que ella llega.
Que es ligera y silenciosa.
Su cuadro ya de metal ligero y las llantas más delgadas.
También la parrilla de atrás para traer los paquetes de las compras.
Today there are bicycles for each person personalized.
Parra mountain, road, for the disabled and for children.
It is a means of transportation that is now used a lot because it does not pollute.
But these were the first steps of that machine so amazing that in 1870.
I revolutionize the transport.
Today museum pieces and old memories.
Hoy en día hay bicicletas para cada persona personalizadas.
Parra montaña, carretera, para minusválidos y para niños.
Es un medio de trasporte que ahora se utiliza mucho ya que no contamina.
Pero estos eran los primeros pasos de esa máquina tan alucinante que en 1870.
Revoluciono el trasporte.
Hoy piezas de museo y de viejos recuerdos.

ehy dear @txatxy, nice post today! with your photos you have taken us back in time, it is always interesting to know how certain things are born that we take for granted! who put together two wheels and pedals? I read that the first invention of a bicycle-like machine dates back to 1817 thanks to the German baron Karl von Drais, but this bike had no pedals and was pushed with the feet !! how many things you learn !! have you been to a bicycle museum?
congratulations on curie and on your article
Hello @txatxy
His contribution was found in the Curie list.
I love bicycles.
I never had one but I did have good cousins who lent me theirs.
I had a velocipede for children at age five.
Oh, I didn't remember, where is it?
Stay great!
I use a translator.
Congratulations @txatxy!

I love this kind of old bicycles. The new ones are so ugly in comparison to these. I got my bike a couple of years ago and of course I bought a retro bike in mint color - so nice!
Thank you for sharing! It's a great post with a nice collection of photos :)
A very evocative journey in time. No question about the revolutionary nature of the bike. I think that many years will pass before it goes into oblivion. Who nows, maybe with all this pollution going on and transportation issues in many countries, we can go back to environmental friendly means of transportations and make bike compulsory.
At least people will be healthier
There is information and nostalgic in this post. Good to know and see some old category cycles which never seen earlier. It is really funny to see the horse shaped seat and springs that might be the earlier version of shock absorbers: The pictures looks good too.
Many people still love the cycles despite having bikes and cars in the home. See how it has been decorated in the home with the small replica of cycle in the drawing room!
