The World’s First Bicycle is inspired by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, from Dumfries-shire who (arguably) invented the world’s first bicycle. Also a fiddler, an organist, and part-time dentist, he worked as a blacksmith in the tiny village of Keirmill back in the 19th century. This story is about Kirkpatrick trying to win a bet between him & Jim, his sceptical friend to prove his “velocipede… of ingenious design” is worthy of the road!
