First mechanically-propelled Bicycle
Time: 1839
Place: Scotland, U.K.
Details: In 1839, The first mechanically-propelled, two-wheeled vehicle may have been built by Kirkpatrick MacMillan, a Scottish blacksmith, although the claim is often disputed. A nephew later claimed that his uncle developed a rear-wheel-drive design using mid-mounted treadles connected by rods to a rear crank, similar to the transmission of a steam locomotive.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
