1888 John Boyd Dunlop's son has difficulty riding a tricycle. He rides it because he has a bad cold, for which the doctor has prescribed a very unusual treatment: cycling. To make the child's ride more comfortable, Boyd installs canvas tires glued with liquid rubber on his tricycle. Boyd patents what turns out to be a very great idea.
In 1889, cyclist Willie Hume was the first to use Boyd's invention in racing and won a number of events. This was the beginning of Dunlop's legendary racing.
1902 Dunlop wins the grueling Paris-Vienna race.
The first Dunlop tire in 1922, using steel rods and canvas, provides three times the service life of other tires used to date
