The Velocipede, this two-wheeled riding machine was in 1865, when pedals were applied directly to the front wheel. This bicycle was called the velocipede because it was faster than all of the other bicycles at the time.

The High Wheel Bicycle, 1870 was the first all-metal machine that appeared. The pedals were still attached directly to the front wheel. Solid rubber tires and the long spokes provided a much smoother ride than the previous bike.
