The bicycle, invented in the early 19th century, was initially called the “velocipede,” which translates to "fast foot." 🚲 Early models didn’t have pedals, and riders had to push themselves along using their feet. 🚵‍♂️
 
It’s wild to think about how far bicycles have come from those pedal-less beginnings to the modern versions we have today!
