The high-bicycle

At the beginning of the 1870s, the high-bicycle was the logical extension of the boneshaker, making the front wheel enlarging to enable higher speeds, limited by the inside leg measurement of the rider, the rear wheel shrinking, and the frame is made lighter. Frenchman Eugène Meyer, the inventor of wheel spokes in the bicycle, is now regarded as the father of the high bicycle by the ICHC in place of James Starley.
