At the time he wanted a hobbyhorse and he decided to make one for himself. Later, he wanted to try to move the hobbyhorse. He made his new machine in 1839.
The first pedal bicycle was propelled by a horizontal movement of the riders feet on the pedals. The machine was extremely heavy and he required physical effort to ride.
His next challenge was to ride 68 milles to Glasgow in June 1842. The trip took two days .
