I love how the narration is super jazzed and excited then goes right into an unenthusiastic 'eight miles an hour.'

8 mph is how much my bicycle speed.
Love the Narrator's sarcasm "These daredevils off at... 8 mph"

All jazzed and enthusiastic and then... INSTANT deflation. You could hear the 'are you shitting me?' in the tone.
0:17 Imagine being chased by a dude with that bike today. Pure horror
How wonderful this is to watch. 😆 I love how it's Victorian, antique and so fascinating. Cheerio you rascal! 🚲
Those bikes look interesting and fun to ride.

Frankly I wanna see a modern spin on that velociped.
“Daredevils flung themselves headlong into the saddle and dash along at almost….. 8 miles an hour” 😂

Imagine how little the modern Dutch daily commuter has changed!
Cool video and gave you a thumbs up.
Those were the days. :D
The best part? About the same time the safety bicycle came along, Mr. Firestone discovered how to vulcanize rubber and invented the pneumatic tire; two inventions that were meant for each other.

I think you will find that Robert William Thomson invented the pneumatic tyre.

haha "old fruits".
fascinating
My mountain bicycle looks like a hypersonic vehicle compared to those bikes.
Great videotape
How did we figure out trains before push bikes
The gentleman wearing the hat looks like he is doing a monty python sketch.
I wonder what people who invented these bicycles back in the 1800's would think if they were told that someday a bicycle will become propelled by electricity as they are today.

Don’t think they would be too surprised, people were already experimenting with electric bicycles at the end of the 19th century, and electric car production started at the same time.
Daredevils lmao! Way too cool
Super
❤very nice👍😎🌐🇵🇭
очень познавательно
its amazing to think that in 1795 A.L. Breguet patented the Tourbillon...........
Изящные,я бы хотел прокатиться на всех!
0:16 the moonwalk bike
some of the bikes looked more like early designs of mechanical cars.
Back when every new thing was trying to be creative. Now Every bike is the same but why not go around in entirely different designs like these? 2 wheels 3 wheels 4 wheels, big wheels small wheels. Just make it safe and with a brake and I'd ride any of them.
👍
I'm still looking for a Royal Enfield bicycle 5 speed internal gears on a Sturmey Archer hub, produced in 1946 by Royal Enfield ❓❓❓
Basically Safety Bikes are the grandmothers of City Bikes
The rascal 🤣🤣
