Mike. I am sorry that you are still so misinformed about critical dates,
what with you being a Classical scholar and all. Recent evidence is that the
bicycle was actually invented by the Macedonian philosopher Hystericlitus in
the 4th C. BC. It (peddling around the village and scaring the horses) was
considered a sacrilege and a safety nuisance by the villagers who burned him
alive on a framework made of parchment stretched between four wooden slats
that local school boys had been using for graffiti. It wasn't until many
centuries later that either invention was re-discovered by Leonardo di Caprio
of Malta, called the Falcon, by some.
I hope this helps.
