Bike Learnig

Today room 12 went to the hall to learn about bikes and we met a bicycle champ called Shawn. We learnt about one of the first bikes created in he 1800's, it's called a Hobby horse. You had to push your self because there were no pedals. But my personal favourite was called the Penny Farthing, made in 1871. It was so huge and it looked so fun to ride but it was also dangerous. Before you see the pictures answer this question "What was the purpose of the bikes"? Say what you think in the comments below.By Mark

History of the bikes show

Today room 12 went and saw a show about the history of bikes. We saw a lot of interesting, weird looking bikes that were created in different country's and different decades. The people that were running the show showed us how the bikes work and how to ride it. We asked them a lot of questions that helped us to get more understanding about bikes. Rm 12 were so surprised on how it looked from when they were first created to what bikes look like today. One of the questions that rm 12 wanted to know was who created the bikes?
