Part of storyBicycleView in story ›

Time: 1869

Place: Scotland, U.K.

Details: In 1869, the first documented producer of rod-driven two-wheelers, treadle bicycles, was Thomas McCall, of Kilmarnock. The design was inspired by the French front-crank velocipede of the Lallement/Michaux type.

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.
