The Rover Safety Bicycle was a revolutionary design introduced in the 1880s, credited to inventor John Kemp Starley. It featured equal-sized wheels, which improved stability and made it easier to ride compared to earlier bicycles with a large front wheel. This design allowed for a more comfortable and safer cycling experience. The Rover Safety Bicycle also included a chain drive system, which transferred power from the pedals to the rear wheel. This innovation made pedaling more efficient and allowed for better control. The design set the standard for modern bicycles, influencing future developments in cycling technology.
