Hayden Roulston was excellent getting NZ a silver in the men's 4000 meter pursuit. TVNZ expected him to get a medal. and in the team event he brought home a bronze for our country.
Everyone expected Alison Shanks to get a medal in the women's 4000 meter pursuit, but she came fourth. Still she did pretty good.

Then young scottish blacksmith Kirkpatrick MacMillan changed it in 1839, by adding pedals. In the next few years he made several improvments. Children's bikes came out after World War 1.
