The Bicycle's Big Birthday

This month marks a big milestone for the bicycle.
We've had two hundred years of two-wheeled travel.

Laufsmaschine

       On June 12, 1817, German inventor Karl von Drais took a little ride on his new invention, the 'Laufsmaschine'. His first reported trip, from a castle courtyard in Mannheim to a coaching inn 5 miles away on Baden's best road, took a little over an hour – and changed travel forever.

The Men Who Brought Bicycles to China
By Erik Crouch
Vestergaard
  The first recorded instance of a Chinese person seeing a bicycle is in the spring of 1866. Bin Chun, a diplomat on a political trip to Europe following the end of the Second Opium War, spotted one on the streets of Paris and it made quite an impression.

  “On avenues, people ride on a vehicle with only two wheels, which is held together by a pipe,” Bin Chun wrote in his travel diary. “They sit above this pipe and push forward with movements of their feet. They dash along like galloping horses.”…

   “街衢游人，有只用两轮，贯以短轴，人坐轴上， 足踏机关，轮自转以当车。

  又有只轮贯轴，两足跨轴端，踏动其机，驰行疾于奔马” - 斌椿《乘槎笔记》

被遗忘的自行车王国 Jun 29, 2017

http://www.biketo.com/news/14898.html

编者语：本文转载自腾讯9月17日的图刊，原作者对于中国自行车文化表现出较为悲观的态度。平心而论，在城市高速发展的过程中，自行车确实是最底层的一环，政府对绿色出行的呼吁也还大都停留在口头，但自行车运动在最近几年的快速发展已是毋庸置疑的事实，我们仍会期待某一天，这个“被遗忘的自行车王国”能以另一种方式崛起。

原文：从19世纪末自行车从西方传入中国，成为宫廷贵族的玩具；到20世纪70年代末中国的改革开放，自行车和缝纫机、手表一度成为年轻人结婚必备的三大件；再到80年代，“飞鸽”“永久”是人们理想的交通工具，自行车迅速成为当时中国人最重要、最普及的代步工具。那时每日上下班时壮观的自行车洪流，更是让中国成为外国人眼中的“自行车王国”。

我当学徒时师傅姓李，是四川绵阳人，他就把自行车叫“洋马儿”。此后再没听到过其他方言中有这种叫法。

这个词儿我是看来的，觉得用它做标题比用 “自行车”、 “单车” 或 “脚踏车” 更洋气。

这些自行车好像很新。颜色鲜亮，排列有序。也许不是“坟场”，而是未出工厂？

您觉得“洋气”，我倒觉得挺接地气。像从邻居大叔或而是玩伴口中听到似的。

    我说 “洋气” 是在开玩笑。我在读 Wiki Dandy horse 介绍时看到下面那张照片, 心想：有洋娃娃，原来也有小洋马。
    后来一查，就查到了 “洋马儿”, 觉得很有趣。

这种单车共享方式，好像比较盲目，没有从国内实际事况出发。这种热潮不但没解决什么实质性问题，还制造了更多问题。

说它是“坟场”，也许不大确切。可以说，它是违规停放的共享单车的收容所。不过，在许多城市，确实有不少共享单车的“坟场”。
