Perfect Replica Of First Bike Ever
 |
The "Draisienne" dates back to 1817 in Europe where it was invented by Karl Von Drais, a land surveyor who was looking for a faster way to get around. The Draisienne had no pedals. You just run and coast.
Smart built his replica based on old drawings of the bike. "The wheels and frame are all wood. The only metal is in miscellaneous hardware," says Smart.
