Bicycle Culture Center / Safety
Bicycles, first produced some 190 years ago, have developed to become the most basic form of conveyance of everyday life. On display in Bicycle Plaza at the Bicycle Culture Center are bicycles that give a visual picture of the history of the bicycle. (For more information, see the January 2009 issue of the PR magazine pla-topia.) http://cycle-info.bpaj.or.jp/bcc-info/bcc_hiroba.html
The Safety bicycle featured basic elements-the frame shape, saddle, and chain-that had become more or less standard. It was mostly constructed of metal and the tires were solid rubber with no air inside.
