He didn't.
John Kemp Starley is held as the inventor of the chain-driven bicycle.
But bicycles as such had been around for quite some time when he thought of his idea.
And he did it for the same reason as for any other invention. He thought it would make something more useful , and/or an opportunity to make some money out of it.
