Abstract for Bicycle paper

I would like to contribute to the conversation by discussing bicycles. More specifically, their contribution to the development of the United States city. The first bicycle boom allowed for the paved streets to be constructed, among other things. Bicycles paved the way for automobiles, which in turn shaped the modern American way of life. I will discuss their evolution as machines, as well as their evolution as modes of transportation and critical tools in the development of modern culture.
