INtroduction
Tallyho! I'm Jon and I love bikes, engineering and history.
As an experienced teacher of mechanics, I’ve put together a 15minute 'whizz bang' assembly presentation called “A Celebration of Cycling.” This assembly includes: beautiful bikes from 1880-2020, blasting music from each era and an explainer on what makes each bike is so blinkin' brilliant.
I could go on and on about the educational value of learning about the history of bikes, but I'll just keep it to this short list:
- An appreciation of technical innovation
- An understanding of social history
- Improved historical 'Sense of period'
- Understanding the development of materials
- Knowledge of sustainable transport
- Enthusiasm for this wonderful form of exercise
