Activity 1. Bicycle parts and their functions
Modern bicycles have different parts but are not as complex as cars. The main ones are the frame, wheels, tyres, seat/saddle, steering, transmission and brakes. This general simplicity allowed the first bicycle manufacturers to create reliable and easy-to-use designs for different types of bicycles.
