The Extraordinary Journey of the Bicycle

For 200 years, since the first Draisienne running machine, the bicycle has offered us free climate-friendly travel, in the early days saving us from being over-run in dung, up to today, reducing air pollution. 
Borne out of catastrophic natural disaster, this invention spawned myths and legends and fueled the movement for equality of the sexes. The world would look very different without the bicycle.
