Bicycle

Ever since the André and Eduoard Michelin invented the first detachable pneumatic bicycle tyre back in 1891 - and tested it with a dramatic nine hour victory in Paris-Brest-Paris race, Michelin bicycle tyre technology has been among the most advanced in the world.

From those early, impressive beginnings, the Michelin name has been synonymous with high quality and groundbreaking technology.
