The Leonardo's da vinci bicycle Hoax



The sketch was discovered in the 1960s when Leonardo's "Codex Atlanticus" was restored. It probably was drawn about 1493, almost 400 years before the bicycle was actually invented, That said the literary historian Augusto Marinon, the man that show the draw.
Although the Historians say no chain-driven, pedal-powered two-wheeler was built with the tools and materials of Leonardo's time, but Marinon beleves it possible: "... Leonardo envisioned such a vehicle. He had drawn other gear and chain mechanisms, and his spring-driven wagon was a forerunner of the modern automobile."

Some historians suggest the bicycle sketch is a fake and I think the same.

Text of a paper presented at the 8th International Conference on Cycling History, Glasgow School of Art, August 1997
Prof. Dr. Hans-Erhard Lessing

News of a bicycle-like sketch said to have been discovered during the ten-year restoring period of Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Atlanticus popped up in 1974, when literary historian Augusto Marinoni gave a lecture in Vinci, Leonardo’s birthplace. From the chronology of disclosures and (in part circumstantial) evidence, it is now becoming clear that we are dealing with a recent forgery.

Popular credit for developing the modern bicycle usually goes to father and son Pierre and Ernest Michaux. Their 1860s two-wheeled velocipede had cranks and pedals connected to the axle of the front wheel, like children's tricycles of today.

Vocabulary

The beautiful is a very particular adjective, we can take it how a personal appreciation about other people, a stereotype or both, like stereotype, is a group of some physical features studied by the old Greeks based on mathematical norms of proportion and harmony. In the human body, these norms determined the thin of the bodies related with the width of these. In the face the relationships among the diferent ones also determined the people aesthetically accepted.
Today many factors like age (personal-historical), the contry, the weather and many others, but always, the base and most common judgement was imposed by the old Greeks.
