Types of bicycle
This article lacks any proper description of types of bicycle, such as track bicycle, road bicycle, hybrid, racing bicycle, etc, together with a scientific analysis of efficiency and function.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.236.212.245 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 27 July 2015

I would like to submit that a bicycle can not be defined as motor-powered without specifying that the bicycle has been mated with a motor. Motorcycle, motorized bicycle, or e-bike are examples of appropriate names for a motor-powered bicycle; I am hoping you remove "motor-powered form this definition. I would also like to point out that calling a bicycle a bike is a common abbreviation, however the term bike relates to motorcycles as well a can be construed either way when used; for that reason I would recommend removing that term as an absolute and either removing the idea, or changing the wording to show that it is an abbreviation.
Not done: [[motorized bicycle]s exist. With regard to "bike", the article very clearly states the bike is used as another word for bicycle. NiciVampireHeart15:56, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
sorry Dunlop, it wasn't you
this article is wrongerz, American inventor Thomas B. Jeffery invented the first practical pneumatic tire by inventing the "bead" for a clincher rim in 1882 when Dunlop was making beadless tires that fell off. I've no doubt that every time this actual historical fact gets added, Dunlop marketing scrubs it back out again. (In addition to Rambler bicycles, he also started Rambler (automobile)) 66.65.103.242 (talk) 17:50, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking of putting it in penny farthing article, as a new approach to that type and essentially a foldable penny farthing but then I saw it has 8 modes and one is recumbent mode. It's World's first "Multi-Configuration Cycle" or Transforming bike. It seems that it can be bought, not a prototype. So what to do with that. It seems that it's too little content for it's own article. 95.178.222.9 (talk) 01:06, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
