Weird History: The Bicycle King

"According to the ancient scrolls and whispered murmurs passed down through the ages, it is said that King Arthur, renowned for his gallantry and chivalry, found himself besieged by adoring female townsfolk who swooned at the mere sight of him. Faced with an onslaught of affection and admiration, King Arthur purportedly acquired a mysterious artifact known as a "bicycle" – a two-wheeled contrivance of unknown origin, said to possess the power of swift locomotion. Clad in his full suit of armor, Arthur mounted the bicycle and pedaled away with remarkable agility, leaving the lovestruck maidens in his wake."
