HOW DID BICYCLES COME INTO USE? LETS FIND OUT

Riding bicycles that are geared models or fancy ones with electric horns,lights etc are considered fashionable by kids,especially the school students. But we dunno how far they know what its invented for and its history. Bicycles were invented by Kirkpatric Mcmillan. Being a black smith, he had to find out a way of delivering his orders to the customers. A cart was too fussy to use ,and personal delivery of the material was impossible. So he used the cart wheels and light bar between to hold them in place,so giving an efficient and lighter option. This scientific marvel has a high impact on global hazards in a good way. Cycling is also proved to be good for hearts, providing a healthier reason to use it too.
