The Most Expensive Bicycles In The World

The Most Expensive Bicycles In The World
.
Bicycles are human powered vehicles that  were invented as a means of transport 200 years ago by the German baron Karl von Drais. Initially created as a two-wheeler, the bicycle has since transformed and can be ridden by two or more people.
It’s uses too have expanded.
From recreation to competitive sports such as the Tour de France the bicycle plays an important role in millions of people around the globe.
Today, the global bicycle industry is valued at nearly $45 billion and it’s forecast to reach $62 billion by the next decade. Amsterdam is known as the ‘bicycle capital of the world’. 63 percent of the city’s population use their bikes daily and they contribute to 32 percent of the transport industry. More people prefer to bike in Amsterdam instead of using cars or public transport.
