Kirkpatrick McMillan's Velocipede

My search into the MacMillan (any spelling) Clan history has turned up some interesting bits of information about how creative we are. There have been many successful inventions and businesses along the way.

Probably the invention with the most worldly impact was the human powered bicycle created by Kirkpatrick McMillan in 1840. He called it a Velocipede. http://www3.sympatico.ca/comflex/mcmillan/DevilonWheels.htm

Well, in the MacMillan tradition of creative thinking, I think I can make a very close reproduction of the Velocipede and hope to begin working on it during the winter months. Although I have no detailed plans or drawings, I do have a photo of a scale model:

I believe there is enough detail in the photo for me to reproduce the individual wood and metal parts in full size.

It would be great to take to Clan Gatherings and let folks see how one man's idea, a McMillan no less, changed the world.
