You're right, I was referring to non-ebikes ... it looks like the first bicycles were built from 1817-19.

I often get so caught up in the marvels of modern-day bikes that it’s easy to forget the historical significance of these two wheeled machines. Once in a while something comes along that captures your attention.You're right, I was referring to non-ebikes ... it looks like the first bicycles were built from 1817-19.

Now for something completely different. 
Bike furniture... a bookcase and credenza for storage.

@FlatSix911: Wasn't the road-bike a concept far earlier than 1960s?

Your right... the Wiki is referring to the modern road bike with a "ten-speed" gearset.
Europe had been racing bikes for over a century... here is another hisorical timeline.

What are the glowing "tires" on the lighted bike? LED strips ? Fluorescent bulbs?

I just saw this. It is at once awesome and frightening. Behold the future.

Ironic. It's not like we haven't been repeatedly warned where this would go. But then Orwell and Huxley along with C.S. Lewis were trumpeting warnings back in the 40s about political machinations leading to world wars and worse .... and little good came of their efforts.

Compare the wooden bikes to the robots and imagine what kind of R-bikes there will be. How about a R-bike that can avoid any collisions and always keeps the rubber side down? Try not to think what it might do if it does not like you.

Spotted a lone bird out on a rocky point... geese nesting perhaps?
Maybe a birdwatcher can help identify what's going on here.
