Limited but interesting writeup in wired about Gottlieb Daimler's (as in Daimler and Benz) first "car".
The age of the automobile started exactly 125 years ago when Gottlieb Daimler filed a patent for his revolutionary “riding car,” a two-wheeled machine driven by an internal combustion engine.
The photos of the bike show one hell of an amazing piece of art. Would love to see a DIY doc on this, but unfortunately, its more of a "isn't this neat" article, rather then "lets build something cool' one.
