I have seen lots of weird and wonderful(?) bike designs come and go,
but, really, for practically, nothing much has improved on the
original 1890's Raleigh "safety" bicycle.
Starley's "Rover" is generally considered to be the original
(successful) safety bicycle.
And the basic design lives on --
It must be one of the most successful transport designs ever. For the
first time humans could travel faster than s/he could run or ride a horse.
