Well aren't you all in luck, two posts in the one day. This is a replica of what I consider to be the first ever bike. Of all the evolutionary braches that bikes have ridden along, I choose this as the first proper bike because it's the first to have a power trasmission that's slightly more developed than pushing ones self along the road with ones feet. The kind man in the photo let me ride this bike along Glasgow Green. You can read what all the know-it-alls have to say about bike history here, and what they have to say about the inventor of this bike, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, here.
