The History Of Motorcycles And Things To Know About Biker Jewelry For Women

By Bertha Wells


You can see a lot of biker jewelry for women and men in a lot of department stores these days. Those accessories just add to the character of the bikers in general. However, they are probably more proud of the most important accessory that they have, which is their motorcycle. It would also be fun to tackle a little bit of the history of such vehicle.

Three common things that be associated with motorcycles and this includes the feeling of having such power and speed as well as making conquests on roads. Drivers certainly feel good as you look at them drive by along highways as the wind makes their hair sway. You already know that this is a common scene in the American history and culture.

It was in the later parts of the 1860s when the United States and Europe were able to see the start of steam engines. The new inventions were the ones used to power machines used for transportation along with other machines that were mechanized. Bicycles that had two wheels were the first ones that made use of steam engines in 1869.

As time passed by, more and more versions were invented. However, inventors noticed that the size of steam engines and the bicycles did not coordinate that well. The bicycles were too small to handle the engines, which resulted in their abandonment. More sources of power were discovered afterwards.

They consist of compressed air, mechanized clockwork as well as hydrogen gas. However, an internal combustion engine that was powered by gasoline was created in 1885. It was made by a German engineer and it made the motorcycle turn into something more viable.

Aside from the engine that he invented, he was also able to add another feature, which was a two speed primitive transmission. By the time inflatable tires were discovered, motorcycles were able to improve due to its ability for better shock absorption. With the new advances at that period, people are now making use of the modern models as of today.

You have learned the early motorcycle developers were the Germans. However, American as well as British engineers were able to catch up quickly especially in the earlier parts of the 20th century. There were plenty of new designs and concepts that were introduced by manufacturers from different countries.

Additionally, people before were not solely focused on using motorcycles for transport. Instead, they also associated it with sports as well as in racing. There were many motorcycles that have stronger engines at that time because there was a rise in the demand for units that are more versatile, comfortable yet more powerful machines. The twin cylinder engine was also invented during that period.

Due to the wars that erupted a few years after the development of motor bikes, there were some changes that occurred. People were more thankful on the practicality offered by the vehicles since they were deemed not difficult to use and an inexpensive way for them to travel from place to place. These days, riding is more of a hobby than a necessity for some. Even bikers just make use of biker jewelry for women just to look the part.
