Pierre Lallement was born in 1843.

Pierre Lallement, who had previously dabbled in making baby carriages, invented the velocipede, better known today as the bicycle. According to historical accounts, he saw people using a rather awkward wheeled vehicle, called a dandy horse. So he then added the basic components of today's bicycles to create a working bicycle.

All early bicycles were made of wood. French mechanic Pierre Lallement obtained the world's first patent for a bicycle while living in New Haven, Connecticut in 1866. It was a crude wooden bicycle with two small carriage wheels and pedals attached directly to the front axle.
