Best Answer

It is a misconception that Isaax Johnson invented the bicycle frame. He did patent a modern looking folding bicycle frame in 1899. Its parts could be taken apart for more compact storage. Prior to Johnsons invention, Comte Mede de Sivrac and Karl von Sauerbronn built primitive versions of the bicycle in 1791 and 1816 respectively. The frame of John Starley's 1885 "safety bicycle" resembled that of a modern bicycle. Following Starley, there was an early bike design by Harmon D. Moise which included a freewheel that allowed the rider to coast, and the pedals would remain in one position during coasting.
