	James Starley Summary
		Starley spent the next dozen or so years working out improvements to the early sewing machine, including his own invention, "The European." His inventions, many of which were patented, survive in the workings of modern sewing machines.
		James Starley (Born April 21, 1830, died June 17, 1881) was an English inventor and "Father of the Bicycle Industry." He was born in 1831 at Albourne.
		It was (John Kemp -) Starley and Sutton who devised the recognisably modern Rover safety bicycle with 26" wheels (still a standard size), chain drive, and a diamond shaped frame (no seat-tube as yet) in 1884, showing it in 1885.

		James Starley in Coventry added the tangent spokes and the mounting step to his famous bicycle named "Ariel." He is rightly regarded as the father of the British cycling industry, then leading the world, with Coventry, Birmingham and Manchester being the centers.
		John Kemp Starley, James' nephew, set the fashion to the world with his "Rovers" from 1885 on (never patented) that featured equally sized wheels and a chain drive to the rear wheel.
		John Forester argues quite convincingly in his book Effective Cycling that road bikes belong on the street, and that construction of cycle paths or Multi-use trails (MUTs) as they are also known, is often an effort to force bicycles off the roads.

	History of Coventry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1662, after the restoration of the monarchy, in revenge for the support Coventry gave to the Parliamentarians during the Civil War the city walls were demolished on the orders of King Charles II.
		During the 19th century Coventry became a centre of a number of industries, including watch and clock making, manufacture of sewing machines, and from the 1880s onwards bicycle manufacture, which was pioneered by James Starley.
		The Starley Safety Bicycle invented by John Kemp Starley and produced by Rover in 1885, was the first bicycle to include modern features such as a chain driven rear wheel with equal-sized wheels on the front and rear.

	Made in Birmingham - The Birmingham cycel and bicycle industry
		In 1877 James Starley patented a differential gear to allow his tricycles to corner properly; probably the first for a bicycle but the principle was not new.
		Starley's Rover was the turning point in the evolution of the bicycle and he established a basic design which has changed remarkably little since then.
		Starley's machine had a “geared-up” drive train so that the number of pedal revolutions did not equal the number of wheel rotations and was fitted with a drive chain and near equal sized front and rear wheels.

	Bicycle History
		Even though controversy still surrounds Macmillan’s machine, it was prophetic in that it included three of these critical design elements: (1) two smallish, equally-sized wheels with the rider sitting between them (2) a rear-wheel drive and (3) a front wheel that was steered and was independent of the transmission.
		The additional two pieces of the puzzle that were subsequently incorporated by Starley and others were (4) a “geared-up” drivetrain (such that the number of pedal revolutions does not equal the number of wheel rotations) and (5) the chain drive itself which was eventually to become ubiquitous.
		John Kemp Starley (James Starley's nephew) markets the revolutionary Safety Bicycle (the “Rover”;) with a chain/rear-sprocket drive and tangentially-spoked, similar sized wheels.

	Historia de la bicicleta
		En 1873, James Starley, un inventor inglés, produjo la primera máquina con casi todas las características de la famosa bicicleta común o de rueda alta. La rueda delantera de la máquina de Starley era tres veces más grande que la de atrás.
		En 1885, John Kemp Starley crea “la bicicleta de seguridad”, donde la rueda delantera es mas pequeña y gracias al uso de los rodamientos, es propulsada por una cadena, se le acopló frenos, para una mayor seguridad.
		Añadiéndose poco después, 1888, los neumáticos desarrollados por John Boyd Dunlop, donde en su tubo interior se rellenan de aire, amortiguando parte del golpeteo contra los caminos.
