International Cycling History Conference

The International Cycling History Conference (ICHC)[1] is an annual event devoted to applying academic rigor to the history of bicycles and cycling.

[2][3][4] The first conference was held in Glasgow, Scotland in 1990.

The proceedings of each conference are published afterwards.

Past conferences have been held around the world: Notable presenters include: At the fourth conference, in Boston, Massachusetts, Oct. 11-16, 1993, David V. Herlihy presented evidence that Pierre Lallement deserves credit for putting pedals on the dandy horse instead of Pierre Michaux.

[7] At the eighth conference in Glasgow, the German professor Hans-Erhard Lessing reported that the famous drawing of a bicycle attributed to Leonardo da Vinci was a hoax.
