The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is regarded as the first bicycle and von Drais is seen as the "father of the bicycle", but it did not have pedals.
- Von Drais introduced it to the public in Mannheim in 1817 and in Paris in 1818.
- The rider sat astride a wooden frame supported by two in-line wheels and pushed the vehicle along with their feet while steering the front wheel.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The History of the bicycle article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 79: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
