Aim : To draw a bicycle on a plane page using different 2D shapes.

  1. Draw 2 circles (for wheels).
  2. In between the 2 circles, draw a triangle.
  3. Join 2 vertices of the triangle with centers of the 2 circles.
  4. On the remaining vertex, draw one small circle for the pedal.
  5. Now, draw the seat of the bicycle in a triangular shape and shade it.
  6. Then, draw the handles of the bicycle in rectangular shape.
  7. And draw the pedals of the bicycle also in rectangular shape.
  8. Now, draw 2 small circles in between the big circles (for tyres).
  9. And draw 1smaller circle in the last circle and an outer circle in the middle circle for drawing its chain.
  10. Now, for the proper shape of the wheels, draw diameters on the circles and shade the wheels.
