Bicycle

This episode is locked. New translations may be added.

The first moments of success in early childhood, the first feeling of independence, the first rush of speed - what gives us these things? The bicycle. We have been propelling ourselves on two wheels for about 200 years. Initially invented as a wooden running machine by Karl von Drais, it later gained pedals and, thanks to Dunlop, became much more comfortable with the addition of pneumatic tyres. But for Great Inventions, the bicycle is more than a means of transportation. It is also associated with emancipation, environmental awareness and lifestyle.
