The real legend are:
Jacques Ozanam-first to propose a self moving vehicle(bicycle or "velocipede").
Baron Karl von Drais-made the first prototype.
Michaux(last name?)-was the firts to add cranks, pedals and breaks to the bike.
Edouard Michelin-Made the first detachable tire instead of an all wood wheel and tire.

There's a nice history lesson. And to think that it all started back in 1696 with a crazy idea that poped into a frenchmens head one day...

(it pays to read the news paper)
