Where the Bicycle was Invented (and Forgotten): Coventry [Guest Video]

"Coventry - The City That Nearly Forgot The Bicycle" This special guest video was produced by Adam Tranter, the Bicycle Mayor for Coventry, in the UK. Coventry holds an important place in the history of the bicycle. It is the city where both the penny-farthing, as well as the safety bicycle - the template for almost all modern bicycles - was invented. In this short documentary, Adam explains the history of cycling in Coventry, and about the realities of cycling in Coventry today. Comparisons to Amsterdam and the Netherlands are provided. This film will be shown as part of the Coventry Transport Museum's new exhibition Gearing Up: From Saddle to Spoke online on Friday 12 March 2021. The exhibition (https://culturespacecoventry.com/gear...) – which it is hoped will open physically when the museum reopens – features over 80 cycles and celebrates the history, unique designs, and benefits of cycling.
