The first "social construction" or progress of the velocipede caused the need for a newer "social construction" to be recognized and developed into a safer bicycle design. Consequently, the velocipede was then developed into what is now commonly known as the "bicycle" to fit within society's newer "social construction," the newer standards of higher vehicle safety. Thus the popularity of the modern geared bicycle design came as a response to the first social construction, the original need for greater speed, which had caused the high-wheel bicycle to be designed in the first place. The popularity of the modern geared bicycle design ultimately ended the widespread use of the velocipede itself, as eventually it was found to best accomplish the social-needs/ social-constructions of both greater speed and of greater safety.[1]

Sociotechnical imaginaries (STIs)

Sociotechnical imaginaries are what certain communities, societies and nations envision as achievable through the combination of scientific innovation and social changes.[2] These visions can be based on what is possible to achieve for a certain society, and can also show what a certain state or nation desires.[2] STIs are often bound with ideologies and ambitions of those who create and circulate them.[3] Sociotechnical imaginaries can be created by states and policy makers, smaller groups within society, or can be a result of interaction of both.[4]
