The Design Of A Bicycle

The design of the bicycle is a fairly good one. Pedaling forward is analogous to walking, and steering is fairly intuitive. All the parts are visible, and fairly easy to see when something goes wrong. Some problems may arise with the brakes, if one goes fast and is inexperience with the bike, braking the front tires with the handles can result in someone topling over the handle bars. Components to adjust the seat can range from fairly intuitive to more complicated than necessary. For the most part however, the bike is a very simple device to use. After all, the task is frequently learned by children. Across the world this device is used, and once mastered it becomes subconcious to operate. It is often said, "Once you learn to ride a bike, you never forget".
