It is hard to find out who invented bicycle. After a search, I ended
with two names that are somewhere in the beginning of history.
In 1418, Giovanni Fontana, built the first human powered land vehicle
based on four wheels and used an endless rope connected via gears to the
wheels.
And Leonardo da Vinci, sketches from the year 1493, showing a primitive version of a bicycle.
Anyway, today the construction and material of bikes are so different
and automated that even the inventors would not recognize that it is a
bike.
But one thing remains the same. You have to learn to ride the bike;)
“The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine.”
