Bicycle
Kirkpatrick Macmillan invented the first bicycle in 1817. The unique invention wasn't powered by a motor, instead, it was powered by the person riding it. The bicycle had 2 wheels ( just like the one's today) and was ridden by a mixture of balance and pedaling. The bicycle changed the world by creating a way of transportation without distributing gasses into the air and is a much smaller object than an automobile, therefore it is much more storage-cooperative. -
