Patent FR-1913-452942

Unlike the “velocipede”, the definition of which we explicate elsewhere, this invention is a per se human-powered flying bicycle. Of some conceptual note, it has the shape we would associate with the modern “10-speed”, for instance, as opposed to the shape of bicycles we may more conspicuously associate with the turn of the Twentieth Century.

The wings of this vehicle are explored more in its additions.
