Chain In 1880, Hans Renold, from Aargau,

worldwide today as a bicycle chain. This meant that
the precarious penny-farthing could be replaced by a
lower-level bike known as the safety bike, a forerunner
of modern bikes.

Alpine horn As its name suggests, this
traditional Swiss instrument has its roots in the
mountains. Texts from as early as 1555 show
that a wooden horn was used to gather herds
of cows. Its sound can carry
for up to ten kilometres,
depending on the terrain.

Army bike 05
Swiss army bikes are leg­endary.
Back in 1891, a cycling regiment
was founded, but until 1904
soldiers had to bring their own
bikes. In 2013, the cycling troop
was discontinued as part of an
army reform, but Swiss civilians
continue to value the indestructible
military bike. schweizer-militärvelo.ch
