China: Chinese man riding a wooden bicycle of local manufacture, Beijing, c. 1890. A bicycle, also known as a bike, pushbike or cycle, is a human-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide, about twice as many as automobiles.
