200 years of bicycles - excerpts from Ulrike SSK

Karl Drais undertook the first excursion with his trolley in the summer of 1817 from Mannheim city center to what is now the suburb of Rheinau. Karl Drais was an inventor and, among many other things, invented the first balance bike, the archetype of today's bicycle.
