The first real bicycle was made in scotland. It was buikt in 1839 by man named macmillan. His bicycle had two wheels like a modern bicycle. But it was much more difficult to ride. It was heavier because it was made of wood.and iron.It did not have rubber tires like a modern bicycle. Insead,it had wooden wheels. This made it very uncomfortable on bumpy road. But macmillan was lucky about one thing;he could not get a flat tire.
