History
Use in vehicles
Bicycles
Chain drive was the main feature which
differentiated the safety bicycle introduced
in 1885, with its two equal-sized wheels,
from the direct-drive penny-farthing or
"high wheeler" type of bicycle. The
popularity of the chain-driven safety
bicycle brought about the demise of the
penny-farthing, and is still a basic feature
of bicycle design today.
