Birota

**Bĭrŏta**  est quodlibet vehiculum plerumque binis rotis praeditum, uno post alterum in forma metallica afficto, quo unus homo vel rarius duo aut plures homines se movere possunt. Catena rotas pedaliaque conectit ut birotarii pedalibus versantibus progrediantur. Qui birota vehitur **birotarius** vel **cyclista** appellatur.

Birotae saeculis undevicensimo et vicensimo in Europa, praecipue Germania, excogitatae, evolutae, introductaeque sunt. Hodie omni in orbe terrarum exstant plus quam 1 000 000 000 birotarum, qui numeri numeros autocinetorum magnopere superant, ambo in summa et per summam exemplarium fabricatarum.

Birotae in multis orbis terrarum regionibus sunt principalis transportationis modus, et populo gratissimae oblectamenti res sunt, quae ad varios usus adaptantur, sicut ludibria puerilia, salutem adultorum, adhibitiones militarias, vigilium, et tabellarium, certamina birotarum, et ausa in circis exhibita, ut in funambulismo. Praecipue Nederlandensibus et Sinensibus, birotatio esse principale fere modum eundi dicitur.

Minime commutatur fundamentalis birotae usitatae forma vel configuratio post 1885 fere, annum cum primum exemplar catenis utens excogitatum esset. Multa autem singula meliora facta sunt, praecipue post materias modernas et designationem a computatris adiuvatam adventam, innovationes quae permultas designationes ad varia birotationis genera aptissimas siverunt.

## Historia
Vehiculum Draisienne et Laufmaschine (Anglice *dandy horse*) appellatum, primus transportationis modus qui solum binis rotis in tandem utebatur, a Carolo Drais, quodam barone Germanico, excogitatum est. Prima birota nunc habetur, sed ei non erant pedalia. Drais hoc machinam coram populo Manhemii anno 1817 Lutetiaeque anno 1818 protulit. Eques, super formam ligneam a binis rotis fultam sedens, vehiculum pedibus impellerit, cum rotam anteriorem gubernaret.]]
