The Pedal's Journey of Two Centuries<\/h3>\n
The bicycle, both environmentally friendly and one of the most practical means of transportation for humanity, has undergone a wonderful transformation from a simple means of entertainment to the center of the global transportation revolution. Thanks to the flexibility it provides in urban transportation, its carbon footprint reset, and its contribution to individual health, bicycle use is becoming more and more widespread.<\/span><\/p>\n The first foundations of the bicycle were laid in the early 19th century. In 1817, German inventor Karl von Drais invented a wooden two-wheeler called the \"Laufmaschine\" (running machine) or \"Draisienne\". In this vehicle with no pedals, the drivers were moving forward with support from the ground with their feet.<\/span><\/p>\n In the 1860s, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and Pierre Lallement began a new era in bicycle design by adding the pedal system to the front wheel. However, the \"Penny Farthing\" model, known for its massive front wheels and small rear wheels, was quite dangerous due to its high driving position.<\/span><\/p>\n The modern design concept of the day was shaped in 1885 when John Kemp Starley developed what he called the \"Safety Bicycle\". Equal-sized wheels and chain transfer mechanism have made cycling a safe and accessible means of transportation for all segments of society.<\/span><\/p>\n Today, the bicycle industry incorporates a wide variety of product groups for different use needs. The main types of bikes that stand out today, depending on the purpose of use and the ground conditions, are:<\/span><\/p>\n European countries hold the lead in cycling ownership and daily use rates on a global scale:<\/span><\/p>\n The GTIP numbers for bicycles and varieties are listed below.

In the global cycling trade, China's open export leadership is noted. On the import side, the United States, Germany and the Netherlands are followed in the first place.<\/span> Thanks to its strong manufacturing infrastructure and geographical proximity to the European market, the Turkish bicycle sector has become an important bicycle production and export base.<\/span><\/p>\n In the export channel, Turkey's annual traditional and electrically-assisted bicycle exports are about $40 million. Most of the exports are made to European Union countries, with the Netherlands and Germany attracting attention among the markets with the most shipments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On the import side, China, Italy and Romania are ranked as the top three countries.<\/span><\/p>\n Geographical structure, climate conditions and local infrastructure investments throughout Turkey directly affect cycling usage rates.
