French bicycle industry : ウィキペディア英語版 | French bicycle industry
The French bicycle industry and the history of the bicycle are intertwined. Spanning the last century and a half, the industry has seen two booms, and continues into the 21st century, albeit less dominant today. ==Invention==
The earliest forebears of the bicycle were ''velocipedes'', and included many human-powered vehicles. One, the scooter-like ''dandy horse'' or ''celerifere'' of the French Comte de Sivrac, dating to 1790, was long cited as the earliest bicycle. Most historians now believe these unsteerable hobby-horses probably never existed, but were made up by Louis Baudry de Saunier, a 19th-century French bicycle historian. The most likely originator of the bicycle was the German Baron Karl von Drais, who rode his 1816 machine while collecting taxes from his tenants. He patented his ''draisine'', a ''pushbike'' powered by the action of the rider's feet pushing against the ground.
