Very early bicycles were called hobby horses or bone shakers. These were replaced with the high-wheeler/Penny-farthing(the one with the big front wheel and the small rear wheel. After that came the "safety bike" which looked pretty much like our current bikes.

∙ 7y agoBy "victorian* I assume you mean the Penny-Farthing AKA high-wheeler.
Not much to it really. Pedals were firmly stuck to the front wheel, like on a kids' trike.
There was a peg at the back bone of the frame that helped the rider mount.
You'd grasp the bar, put one foot on the peg, kick off and climb on.
