Writing the Bicycle
Writing the Bicycle: Women, Rhetoric, and Technology in Late Nineteenth-Century America Sarah Overbaugh Hallenbeck A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Jane Danielewicz Jordynn Jack Daniel Anderson Jane Thrailkill Beverly Taylor ABSTRACT Sarah Overbaugh Hallenbeck Writing the Bicycle: Women, Rhetoric, and Technology in Late Nineteenth-Century America (Under the direction of Jane Danielewicz and Jordynn Jack) This project examines the intersections among rhetoric, gender, and technology, examining in particular the ways that American women appropriated the new technology of the bicycle at the turn of the twentieth century. It asks: how are technologies shaped by discourse that emanates both from within and beyond professional boundaries? In what ways do technologies, in turn, reshape the social networks in which they emerge—making available new arguments and rendering others less persuasive? And to what extent are these arguments furthered by the changed conditions of embodiment and materiality that new technologies often initiate? Writing the Bicycle: Women, Rhetoric and Technology in Late Nineteenth- Century America addresses these questions by considering how women’s interactions with the bicycle allowed them to make new claims about their minds and bodies, and transformed the gender order in the process. The introduction, “Rhetoric, Gender, Technology,” provides an overview of the three broad conversations to which the project primarily contributes: science and technology studies, feminist historiography, and rhetorical theory. In addition, it outlines a “techno-feminist” materialist methodology that emphasizes the material ii and rhetorical agency of users in shaping technologies beyond their initial design and distribution phases. -

Ohio Youth Bicycle Helmet Ordinance Toolkit Assisting Local Communities in Educating Decision Makers on the Importance of a Youth Bicycle Helmet Law
Ohio Youth Bicycle Helmet Ordinance Toolkit Assisting local communities in educating decision makers on the importance of a youth bicycle helmet law. March 2013 www.healthyohioprogram.org/vipp/oipp/oipp Through a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Core Injury grant, the Ohio Department of Health’s Violence and Injury Prevention Program established the Ohio Injury Prevention Partnership (OIPP) in November of 2007. The purpose of the OIPP is to bring together a group of multi-disciplinary professionals from across the state to identify priority injury issues and develop strategies to address them. Child injury is one of the OIPP’s priorities and the members recommended the formation of the Child Injury Action Group (CIAG). The CIAG has identified five focus areas to address in their five-year strategic plan, including: teen driving safety, bicycle and wheeled sports helmets, infant sleep-related suffocation, sports- related traumatic brain injury, and child restraint/ booster seat law review/revision.

The History of Cycling
The History of Cycling 1493 A student of Leonardo Da Vinci sketched an idea for a bicycle. 1817 Drais running machine, the 'Draisine'. It was also called the 'hobby horse' because it competed with horses for transport. It was popular in Europe and North America and didn't have any pedals. Instead the riders pushed against the ground with their feet to move along. 1860s The French velocipede was also called 'bone shaker', because it had such hard wooden wheels and was rough to ride on old roads and cobblestones. There was a major breakthrough when pedals were added to the front wheel of a running machine. Again, the 'bone shaker' was a huge craze in Europe and North America, where special schools were set up to teach people how to ride. 1870s The British penny farthing was named because it looked like two British coins, the large penny in front and the small farthing behind. The penny farthing used several new inventions to make it much better than the bone shaker. They used tubular steel frames that were light, strong and cheap. The wheels and pedals had ball bearings that allowed them to spin smoothly and lasted a long time. Wheels had previously used wooden spokes which were much stronger and heavier than needed. On the penny farthing they used wire spokes, which were a major breakthrough as the wheels were not only much lighter, but were also able to be repaired easily. Adding solid rubber tyres to the outside of the wheel gave the wheels more grip and made the ride smoother by absorbing some of the bumps. -

The History of the Wheel and Bicycles
NOW & THE FUTURE THE HISTORY OF THE WHEEL AND BICYCLES COMPILED BY HOWIE BAUM OUT OF THE 3 BEST INVENTIONS IN HISTORY, ONE OF THEM IS THE WHEEL !! Evidence indicates the wheel was created to serve as potter's wheels around 4300 – 4000 BCE in Mesopotamia. This was 300 years before they were used for chariots. (Jim Vecchi / Corbis) METHODS TO MOVE HEAVY OBJECTS BEFORE THE WHEEL WAS INVENTED Heavy objects could be moved easier if something round, like a log was placed under it and the object rolled over it. The Sledge Logs or sticks were placed under an object and used to drag the heavy object, like a sled and a wedge put together. Log Roller Later, humans thought to use the round logs and a sledge together. Humans used several logs or rollers in a row, dragging the sledge over one roller to the next. Inventing a Primitive Axle With time, the sledges started to wear grooves into the rollers and humans noticed that the grooved rollers actually worked better, carrying the object further. The log roller was becoming a wheel, humans cut away the wood between the two inner grooves to create what is called an axle. THE ANCIENT GREEKS INVENTED WESTERN PHILOSOPHY…AND THE WHEELBARROW CHINA FOLLOWED 400 YEARS AFTERWARDS The wheelbarrow first appeared in Greece, between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. It was found in China 400 years later and then ended up in medieval Europe. Although wheelbarrows were expensive to purchase, they could pay for themselves in just 3 or 4 days in terms of labor savings. -
Design and Modification of Bicycle by Using Additional Sprockets
Vol-3 Issue-4 2017 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 DESIGN AND MODIFICATION OF BICYCLE BY USING ADDITIONAL SPROCKETS Sanjeey Reddy K Hudgikar1 S.M.Saleemuddin2 1 Professor, Mechanical Department, Lingaraj Appa Engineering College,Bidar,Karnataka,India 2 Assistant Professor, Mechanical Department, Annamachara Institute of Technology & Sciences,Rajampet,Kadapa,AP. ABSTRACT Biking is increasingly being recognized as a highly sustainable form of transportation. The present work focus on design and development of bi-cycle which can be implemented as an alternative to the two wheelers consuming large amount of fuel and polluting the environment. To overcome these problems, an effort is being made to search some other for the vehicles. Again, it is also not affordable to purchase vehicles (mopeds, scooters or motorcycles) for all the class of society. Keeping this in mind, a search for some way to cater these economically poor people as well as to provide a solution for the environmental pollution was in progress. This work deals with these problems efficiently as energy is generated utilizing the mechanical energy of the rider. Keyword: - Sprockets, Welding, Gear Mechanism 1. INTRODUCTION A bicycle, often called a bike or cycle, is a human-powered, pedal-driven and single-track vehicle having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. A bicycle rider is called a cyclist or bicyclist. Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century in Europe and as of 2003, more than 1 billion have been produced worldwide twice as many as the number of automobiles that have been produced. They are the principal means of transportation in many regions. -

The History of the Bicycle Introduction 1 People Started Building Bicycles
The History of the Bicycle Introduction 1 People started building bicycles in the 1800s. Since then, bicycles have grown more popular. Today, more than one billion people around the world ride bicycles. 2 The design of the bicycles has changed over time. However, one thing stays the same: two wheels and a lot of fun! The Ordinary 3 Built in 1871, the ordinary had a tall wheel in front and a small wheel in back. The rider sat up on a seat above the high front wheel. 4 The ordinary moved faster than earlier bikes because of its large wheel. The big wheel also caused problems. It was hard to ride up a hill. It was also hard to get on and off the high seat. Riders often fell forward onto their heads when they tried to slow or stop the bike. All these problems made the ordinary dangerous for the rider. Safety Bicycle 5 John Starley changed the bicycle in 1885 with the Rover safety bicycle. The bike looked similar to the bicycles of today. Most safety bicycles moved on two wheels of about the same size. A low seat between the wheels made the bike safer and easier to ride. 6 The first safety bicycles had solid rubber tires. Later, air-filled rubber tubes were added to the design. They made for a much less bumpy ride! 7 The safety bicycle used a gear and chain system. A chain connected gears on the back wheel to another gear attached to the pedals. Riders pushed the pedals to turn the back wheel and move the bike.
