Скачать или смотреть The Floating Bicycle — An Invention That Shouldn’t Exist (1895)

In 1895, a French engineer named Louis Duval built a machine that could ride on water.
His invention — a bicycle-boat — combined mechanics and imagination:
a metal bicycle mounted on hollow floats, powered by pedals that turned paddle wheels.

The idea was decades ahead of its time — and then quietly forgotten.

Today, as modern hydro-bikes glide across Swiss lakes and engineers showcase futuristic watercraft online, few remember the man who tried it first.
This is a story about vision, failure, and rediscovery —
a forgotten inventor whose impossible idea finally became reality.

📜 Some inventions never die.
They simply wait — until someone dares to cross the river again.
