Riding 60 miles across Scotland on a completely wooden bike Endura athletes and sporting celebrities recreate the world's first-ever pedal cycle journey

Endura athlete riding the totally wooden bike for the 'Forgotten Legend' project

The eyes of the cycling world have firmly been on Scotland over the last few weeks. As the curtain drops on the UCI 2023 World Championships with over 200 rainbow jerseys being awarded to winners in downhill mountain biking to BMX and everything in between, it's been quite the journey for fans of cycling, the competitors and has drawn in new audiences watching the events in person or on TV.

To celebrate the World Championships being in Scotland, Scottish brand Endura has also set off on its own special journey with a recreated version of the first-ever pedal cycle invented by Kirkpatrick Macmillan in 1839. Endura has been around since 1993 and has always aimed to be at the forefront of developing innovative, bombproof kit able to cope with the rigors of all genres of riding. From the best mountain bike helmets to gravel bike clothing to MTB protection, the brand has now taken on the ambitious project of recreating and paying homage to Kirkpatrick Macmillan's invention.
