In this era, no one had yet created these tools, nor could anyone create them all.
She had drawn the designs, and with a father who was very skilled, even the most difficult parts were overcome in his workshop.
She saw the first wooden bicycle, equipped with wooden brakes and tires made of wood; the iron wires for the tires were specially made at the blacksmith's shop.
The wooden bicycle was quite heavy; although it was a children's bicycle, its weight was comparable to that of a 28-inch adult bicycle.
When the first bicycle appeared, no one knew how to ride this thing.
Ye Shiqi was just over three years old, and given the size and weight of the bicycle, she couldn't handle it.
She could only explain to her father how to ride and then place a bamboo pole at the rear rack for support to prevent falling during rides.
It would prevent both the rider and the bicycle from falling over, supported by the bamboo pole fixed to the rear of the bike.
