The Five Expensive Bicycles In The World

Bicycles are human powered vehicles which were invented 200 years ago by German baron Carl von Drais as a means of transportation. Initially built as a two-wheeler vehicle, the bicycle has changed since then and can be boarded by two or more people.

Today, the value of the global bicycle industry is approximately $ 45 billion and by next decade, it is estimated to reach 62 billion dollars. Amsterdam is known as 'the world's bicycle capital'. 63 percent of the city's population use their bikes daily and they contribute 32 percent of the transport industry. More people like to bike in Amsterdam rather than using cars or public transport.
