Congratulations to Professor Lessing
Professor Hans-Erhard Lessing from Mannheim/Germany will be 70 years old next Tuesday, (26th February). Professor Lessing is one of founding speakers of the ICHC and gave the opening paper at the first Conference in Glasgow in 1990. It is his conviction that modern personal mechanical mobility started with the bicycle.
Professor Lessing has done much to confirm that Freiherr von Drais invented the earliest two-wheeler and has done valuable work in demolishing ‘priority myths’ common in cycling history. Most famously, his researches (presented to the 1997 ICHC and published in Cycle History 8) proved that the design of a bicycle, supposed to originate from the studio of Leonardo da Vinci, was a mid 20th century falsification.
The International Cycling History Conference congratulates Professor Lessing for his birthday and hopes that he will attend many conferences in the future in good health.
