Bicycle Necklace

Whether you are a serious bicycling enthusiast or simply enjoy an occasional casual bike ride, wearing a bicycle necklace is a great way to show off your love for this two wheeled mode of transportation.

From its beginnings in 1817 as a large wooden two wheeled walking machine, the bicycle has found a place in the hearts of people of all ages. It was not until 1865 that pedals were introduced as a way of propelling these fun wooden vehicles around town. The pedals were attached to the front wheel of the bicycle, known as a velocipede. They were a huge success and many cities had indoor riding academies, very similar to the skating rinks of today.

Over the next century, bicycles went through several stages of development including the metal high wheeled bicycle and tricycle, known as the penny farthing. Tires evolved from the earlier ones made of metal to solid rubber to pneumatic. By the time end of World War I, the popularity of the bicycle was enormous. Companies such as Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward marketed glamorous heavy bicycles for youngsters and teens. The bicycle evolution continued with the development of lighter sleeker bikes including the English three and ten speeds and the mountain, road and trick bicycles of today. The bicycle is now the most popular vehicle in the world.

The passion for bicycles does not stop there, miniature bicycles made of everything from plastic to precious metals are a trendy popular necklace style. Young and old alike enjoy wearing this tiny replica as a tribute to the bicycle.

Prices of necklaces with bicycles pendants range from a few dollars for an inexpensive costume jewelry piece to several hundred dollars for one made of precious metal and gemstones.
