EXHIBITION “THE CYCLE IN SAINT-ETIENNE, A CENTURY OF KNOW-HOW”, France
The exhibition „LE CYCLE À SAINT-ETIENNE, UN SIÈCLE DE SAVOIR-FAIRE" in 2014 and 2015 offered a unique insight into the history of bicycle production in Saint-Etienne to all lovers of two wheels.
From the end of the 19th century, Saint-Étienne became a leader among designers and manufacturers of spare parts for this new bicycle industry. The 1920s are considered the golden age of cycling in Saint-Étienne and saw the development of big brands that became iconic: Ravat, Automoto, Hirondelle, Cyclo and then Mercier and many others. Companies have built their reputation thanks to technical innovations or active involvement in key areas of cycling practice, which are sports, races and cycling tourism.

Musée Carnavalet, Paris – France
The mechanical drive of vehicles is a fascinating story provoking endless debates as to whether it is the forerunner of the bicycle, i.e. the motorcycle or the automobile.
Wheelchairs are a major advance in enabling independence for people with walking difficulties. The first self-propelled wheelchair has been attributed to John Joseph Merlin, the ‘ingenious mechanick’, in the early 19th century and his ‘gouty chair’ is exhibited at Kenwood House. Research would suggest that comparable chairs existed in France as early as 1751 and the French Revolutionary, Georges Couthon, used one to get around Paris. A later design, also attributed to Merlin, the invalid wheelchair, features large wheels with outer hoops for the occupant to grasp and this is the true ancestor of the modern wheelchair.
