Cycling was invented by Baron Karl von Drais, in the year 1817. Cycling is an activity that involves a great deal of pedaling. It’s assumed that this activity helps only in toning the muscles of the calf and thighs, but it is actually an overall physical workout and involves the movement of almost every part of the body.
What he invented wasn’t exactly the bicycle which we know and use. He actually invented the walking machine that helped him to walk in the royal gardens faster. This device had wheels, but didn’t have any gears, chains, and peddles. Also, it moved ahead by pushing his feet against the ground. With an improvement in this technology, this crude device was eventually transformed into the modern-day bicycle.
