∙ 9y agoTo be more concise, some credit Kirkpatrick MacMillan for inventing the rear wheel drive bicycle. And mind you that most bicycle historians refute the fact that MacMillan invented the rear wheel bicycle at all.
But to answer your question: MacMillan's bicycle would have been built in Scotland as that is where he was a blacksmith.
