I Was Blown Away by This High-Tech 127-Year-Old Bicycle

This bicycle was designed in 1895, and it still looks beautiful. It was invented by Mikael Pedersen and it has been in and out of production since he first made it.

A Pederson with disc brakes. Love it! I so want one!

Such an amazing bike!

I've loved mine since I got it in 2001. I put a Rohloff on it in 2005 and haven't had to touch the gear system since then! I motorized it in 2017 and wow, next level fun!

Ayyy I’m from Dursley UK where Pederson lived when he invented it!

It's wonderful that there's a group of people that love this ingenious design.
I think the only negative issue (that even the newly-made ones seemingly have) is that the saddle points slightly upwards at the front (well, the whole thing is pointing upwards).
If the saddle were completely level it would be better (especially for a male rider)...
Still, perhaps I'm wrong, and it levels out when you get on the bicycle?

You have been in Frankfurt? Ahh, so close to my hometown. I would have taken you to a bike ride to Burg Frankenstein or other castles here like Heidelberg. Best wishes

It's gorgeous, isn't it?

[@bobwilliamson5574]
