Velocipede ca 1869 possibly Michaux It is generally accepted that Pierre Michaux (1813-83), a serrurier or locksmith, and his son Ernest (1849-89) produced his first ‘boneshaker’ by converting a hobby-horse to provide cranks to the front wheel. Henri Michaux claimed in a letter that Pierre Michaux thought of the idea and Ernest executed it. There is some uncertainty when this happened but it appears likely that it was in 1864 (although 1855 and 1861 have been suggested). However there is a compe ...

Starley ca 1882 Royal Salvo Tricycle From around 1880 tricycles were developed as alternative mounts for people that found it difficult or dangerous to ride an ordinary. At the Stanley Show of 1883, 289 tricycles were exhibited while the number of bicycles was only 233. James Starley’s Royal Salvo, first presented in 1877, was one of the most popular tricycles of its time, thanks largely to Starley’s invention of the “balance gear,” which acted as a sort of differential. As you pedalled the sing ...

Von Drais called his invention the ‘running machine’ but to the French public it became known as a Draisine.

When it was demonstrated at the Paris Exhibition, the Velocipede brought worldwide attention to the concept of cycling and sparked a craze of experimentation that would last until the early 187 ...

Hirondelle 1925 “Retro-Direct” Hirondelle machines were made by the “ Manufacture Francaise d’Armes et Cycles” de Saint-Etienne in France.
