It is a fact that he filed the earliest and only patent for a pedal-driven bicycle, in the US in 1866.

The building was sold to the group for 20 million dollars and was renovated into luxury apartments.

Till 1924 car bodies - even those of mass- produced Citroëns - were made according to methods derived directly from the carriage trade, using a timber-frame. Each piece of the frame was individually shaped, normally from ash or beech wood, using traditional carpenters' tools. Sheets of steel (or, in some cases, of fabric) were attached to the outside of the timber frame to cover and protect both the frame and the interior of the automobile from the weather, but the steel sheets added no significant structural strength to that already provided by the timber frame. In fact the first steel bodied "Type B10" cars were subject to significant flexing and distortion that damaged the company's reputation, but these were overcome through the addition of steel reinforcements: any reputational damage was short-lived, and by 1928 sales of the 10 HP "B-series" Citroën, by now in its "Type B12" incarnation, were higher than ever.
