{"product_id":"leonardo-bicycle","title":"Leonardo Bicycle","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe Leonardo Bicycle has an interesting and controversial history. The design itself would have been incredibly groundbreaking for the time, no inventor\/engineer during that era had even considered a personal vehicle – of any kind (well, maybe a horse). A bicycle design was not seen until the 1800’s – over 300 years later!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIt is widely accepted that the image was not drawn by Leonardo, very likely a pupil of his, and we have, from the drawing, made a working model of what we think it might have looked like. Leonard did draw a chain in one of his codices, using links very similar to a bike chain now, which could have been used with it, but we have used an elastic band, since making a chain link so small would be very difficult.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhile there are doubters that Leonardo was the original artistic instigator of this bicycle idea, it flows well from many of the other drawings he did at the time – including things like an aerial screw, self propelled car, and ornithopter, to name a few.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAge Rating: 7+ \u003c\/b\u003eThe bridge kits can be made by youngsters starting around 7 years old, however we like that it is both interesting and compelling for kids of all ages – right up to those in their 90’s! They are working re-creations so are great for school bridge projects.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pathfinders","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50534068650232,"sku":"ypk1789666943064","price":10.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/2928\/7416\/files\/leonardo-bicycle_1.webp?v=1789666946","url":"https:\/\/easypullwear.shop\/products\/leonardo-bicycle","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
