Invented by Eugène Meyer, the larger wheel anabled the bicycle to travel at much higher speeds. This had a big design flaw, though, as if the front wheel got caught by something and stopped, the rider would flip over and land on his head.

This design had the rider closer to the ground, and although it wasn't as fast as the high wheel, it was sefer and it was easier to stop. The inventor was the English engineer Harry John Lawson.

These new bikes were more comfortable to ride.

This was the first bike to have gears.
-
This bike was able to go off road and over rough terrain much easier.

This combined the characteristics of a road bike, touring bike, and a mountain bike all together into one.

Who knows what might come in the future. Maybe they will make a bike where if you pedal and then push a button, the bike will go at that constant speed without having to pedal. There are a ton of possibilities.
