Leonardo da Vinci died on May 2, 1519. Many years after his death, the design of a bicycle that was far superior was discovered, in terms of engineering solution, to the first ones that would be manufactured around 1817. The system proposed by Leonardo had the pedal connected to a toothed wheel, which transmitted power to the rear wheel by means of a belt. The idea would be adopted at the beginning of the 20th century. Your bicycle was never built in your time. The same happened with all his other inventions, too advanced for the technical possibilities of the time.
