ABOUT CYCLE

                                                          SHORT NOTE ON CYCLE

When we see a cycle on a roadside we just stare them once for their beautiful modification. Some will see it only for riding purpose. But the cycle has various mechanism which are deep to get knowledge. 

The different types of cycle: 

1. Road bicycle.
2.  Track cycling.
3. Cyclo-cross.
4. Mountain bike.
5. BMX.
6. Cycle speedway.
7. Motor-paced racing.

A typical bicycle has anything from three to thirty different gears—wheels with teeth, linked by the chain, which make the machine faster (going along the straight) or easier to pedal (going uphill). ... There were no gears: the front wheel turned around once each time your legs pushed up and down on the cranks (pedals).

BRAKE SYSTEM :

                               No matter how fast you pedal, you’re always going to need to stop. Brakes on a bicycle work using friction. Although some bikes now have disc brakes, many still use traditional caliper-operated rim brakes with shoes. When you press the brake levers, a pair of rubber shoes clamps onto the metal inner rim of the front and back wheels. As the brake shoes rub firmly against the wheels, they turn your kinetic energy into heat, which has the effect of slowing you down.
