Actually, the first bicycles weren't that important in themselves. They didn't work that well, and they were hideously expensive - toys for rich men.

But the first bicycle was the seed that eventually grew into the "safety bike", a design easily recognizable even today. And that bike was the first affordable means of personal transportation, allowing people to work, study or socialize outside walking distance from their homes.

Not all of them have. Bicycle tires for soft/loose surfaces will have coarse treads and very knobbly patterns.But bicycle made to be ridden on hard surfaces will have very smooth treads.The main reason why car tires for road use have tread patterns at all is to avoid aquaplaning. And due to the shape and size of the contact patch of a bicycle tire, a bicycle can'taquaplane. So small/no treads will do fine.
