Who actually invented it? - Tricycle

in #invention7 years ago

There are black inventors that are implicitly metioned for their inventions.

Matthew Cherry recieved a patent on the 8th May, 1888 for what is now known as a tricycle.


A tricycle is a 3 wheeled vehicle/cycle as seen below.

He lived in the 1800’s, and clearly had a passion for transportation and efficient use of energy, because he was awarded two patents in the industry, one for his velocipede, and the other for an improved design of the car fender.

Great post thanks - love tricycles!

I like the tricycle. You can relax on it because you don't have to worry about keeping your balance. And you can drive slower without falling over. More friction maybe but I like it. Nice large basket in the back too.

I would have never have learned this if it wasn't for the Steemit culture of chronic need to generate original content for Steemit. Many thanks.
