Bicycle Culture Center / Children's Bicycles A
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.

Bicycles for children who are in-the-know about what's in style in the adult world. From around 1970, bicycles decorated with cartoon characters accounted for a large share of those produced.
The concepts of safety, lightweight construction, and easy handling motivated the use of plastic in manufacturing children's bicycles.
Around 1960.
Plastic began to be used for the front basket, handlebar grips, pedals, and bell.
