Bicycle

Evolving

1900s
France

Bicycles continued to evolve to suit the varied needs of riders, as derailleur gears, a variable-ratio transmission system commonly used on bicycles, consisting of a chain, multiple sprockets of different sizes, and a mechanism to move the chain from one sprocket to another, developed in France between 1900 and 1910 among cyclotourists, and was improved over time.
