Extractions: HISTORY The idea of a self-propelled vehicle on wheels has intrigues mankind through many centuries. But it did not take definite form until 1690, when a two-wheeled contrivance made its appearance on the streets of Paris. The originator was M. de Sivrac, Frenchman. The machine consisted of two wooden wheels, with upright posts on the sides of the sides of the wheels, such posts being joined together by a crossbar. M.de Sivrac made one cardinal error, which condemned his device to oblivion. He forgot the need for pedals. There was no further bicycle experiments public knowledge until 1785, when another Frenchman launched a somewhat similar machine upon an abbreviated career. The machine also had to be pushed. But the new inventor put the front wheel on a pivot, which permitted steering independently of the back wheel. That like also disappeared because the French of that era after examining the creation expressed doubt that a man ever could keep a two-wheeled machine in motion and still maintain balance. In 1789, a three-wheeled contrivance was created by two Frenchmen - Blanchard and Magurier. Comment concerning it appeared in the journal de Paris" on July 27, 1789.

The Early Years As a teenager growing up in Colorado, Bobby was introduced to many outdoor sports. Bobby's father, Bob Sr. began competing in triathlons, and took young Bobby on bike rides with him. He encouraged Bobby to take up triathlons as well, but Bobby wasn't as excited about running and swimming.
