da Vinci Bicycle Kit - Suitable for ages 7 and up
The Leonardo da Vinci Bicycle has an interesting and controversial history. The design itself would have been incredibly groundbreaking for the time, no inventor/engineer during that era had even considered a personal vehicle – of any kind (well, maybe a horse). A bicycle design was not seen until the 1800’s – over 300 years later!
It is widely accepted that the image was not drawn by Leonardo, very likely a pupil of his, and from the drawing, Pathfinders made a working model of what they think it might have looked like. Leonardo did draw a chain in one of his codices, using links very similar to a bike chain now. While there are doubters that Leonardo was the original artistic instigator of this bicycle idea, it flows well from many of the other drawings he did at the time – including things like an aerial screw, self propelled car, and ornithopter, to name a few.
