Légende

The velocipede was a series of human-powered vehicles created in the late Georgian era. There were designs with two, three and four wheels. Some two-wheeled designs had pedals mounted on the front wheel, while three- and four-wheeled designs used treadles and levers to drive the rear wheels. Later two-wheel versions had increasingly large front wheels, directly driven by bicycle pedals, and a smaller back wheel—these leading to the penny-farthing. The two-wheeled velocipede, sometimes called the boneshaker, was invented in the early 1860s in France. The Michaux company was the first to mass-produce the velocipede, from 1867 to 1870. It cost $100 in 1870, making it unaffordable to the working classes. The dandy horse was a similar vehicle, but without pedals and also sometimes called a velocipede.
