Michaux bicycle, 1869, France<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Michaux (dad and son) were the owners of a Parisian engineering company that passed down in history to be the first to apply pedals to the\u00a0Draisine<\/strong><\/a>, a vehicle born in\u00a01816<\/strong>\u00a0thanks to the German Baron\u00a0Von Drais<\/strong>, completely made of wood where you sat on top of it and pushed yourself forward with your feet. The pedals made that vehicle go faster and more technologically advanced: the Michaudine was born. The Michaux family, experienced in metal working, managed to transform it, using forged<\/strong> iron<\/strong> to make all the pieces, just the wheels were still made of wood. That fast innovative vehicle was called Michaux Bicycle.<\/strong>\u00a0The year was 1865 and its commercial success was huge.<\/p>\n
