At least once in a lifetime, everyone has heard the saying: "You don't need to reinvent the wheel." Indeed, what could be simpler than two wheels on a frame with a seat and a steering wheel? It turns out that, invented over a hundred years ago, the bicycle never stops evolving. Time changes and new technologies come with it.
The first bicycles were made of wood, replaced by metal, and then aluminum, which greatly lightened the structure without sacrificing strength. Chain transmission, variators, rim or disc brakes, comfortable seats and an ergonomic shape of the steering wheel ... Manufacturers have not stopped "reinventing the wheel" from the day it first appeared on the road. All this is done to satisfy the needs of consumers.
