Back in 1817, the baron Karl von Drais made the first major development when he created a steerable, two-wheeled contraption. Known by many names, including the “velocipede,” “hobby-horse,” “draisine” and “running machine,” this early invention has made Drais widely acknowledged as the father of the bicycle.


But the bicycle as we know it today evolved in the 19th century thanks to the work of several different inventors.
