The Running Machine: The Invention of the Very First Bicycle
Keith Negley, illustrated by Keith Negley
Set against the real events of 1815–17, this account follows Karl Drais as he creates the first bicycle. It looks back to a time before trains, automobiles, and airplanes, when travel depended on horses. A volcanic cloud brought the Year Without a Summer, the historical event connected with Drais’s invention. An author’s note adds historical context to the account.
