200 years of Bicycles


Hi everyone!
騎腳踏車好好玩喔! 你會騎嗎?
I learned how to ride a bicycle when I was in the fifth grade …

and I still ride a bicycle whenever I can!
Using a bicycle is a smart idea.

不用汽油或馬達 … you just need your legs!

Sit on the seat, put your feet on the pedals …

push the pedals and go! —
It’s pedal power! Amazing!

Such a great idea!
So, who had this smart idea?

是誰先發明腳踏車?
Well, the answer is: a lot of people.
The first idea for a bicycle is more than 200 years old!

It was made in Germany.

But the first bicycle didn’t have pedals …

you put your feet on the ground and

pushed the bicycle forward with your legs.
Now, bicycles use pedals, a chain, and gears …. now,

you can ride a bicycle really far and really fast!
 腳踏車改變了全世界。

Today, lots of people use “public bicycles.”
“Public” means “for people” and … well …

you know what “bicycle” means, right?
A public bicycle is a bicycle

anyone can borrow – or rent –

for only a little money.

It’s an easy and convenient idea!

In Taipei, public bicycles

are called “U-Bikes” and

in Kaohsiung, they are called“C-Bikes.

“台灣到處都找得到腳踏車!

Hey … maybe we don’t need

so many cars or motorcycles…

we can ride bicycles!
Bicycles are clean and quiet … and

you can get some exercise

when you ride them, too!
And did you know?

Taiwan makes really good bicycles!

All over the world,


people love bicycles made in Taiwan.

Cool, right?

I’m really glad so many people

had great ideas that gave us bicycles!

Pedal
power is amazing!
