EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Macmillan Bicycle, an historical innovation in the world of cycling. Dated back to 1839, this bicycle holds the distinction of being the first to be fitted with a drive mechanism of any kind. The Macmillan Bicycle, named after its inventor, James Starley's brother, Dr. J.K. Starley, who worked under the name Macmillan, revolutionized the way bicycles were propelled forward. The Macmillan Bicycle featured a unique lever-driven system, which replaced the need for foot pedals. Instead, riders would push down on a set of levers attached to the rear wheel, propelling it forward with each push. This design allowed for a more comfortable and efficient riding experience, as riders no longer had to directly apply pressure to the pedals with their feet. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of cycling and the continuous evolution of transportation technology. The Macmillan Bicycle paved the way for future innovations, such as the introduction of chain-driven bicycles and eventually, the modern bicycles we know today. The Macmillan Bicycle is not only an important historical artifact, but also a symbol of human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of progress. Its sleek design and intricate details are a reminder of the beauty and elegance that can be found in the simplest of machines. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and provides valuable insights into the development of cycling technology. It is a must-see for anyone with an interest in transportation history, cycling, or simply appreciating the marvels of engineering.
