Baron Karl von Drais was a German inventor best known for creating the "laufmaschine" or "running machine" in 1817, which is considered a precursor to the modern bicycle. This two-wheeled, steerable device allowed riders to propel themselves by pushing off the ground with their feet. Drais was motivated by the desire to find an alternative mode of transportation during a period of food shortages in Europe. His invention laid the groundwork for the development of bicycles and influenced later innovations in personal transport.
