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
