Imagine a world without wheels.

Before wheels there were no
bikes, no clocks, no windmills,
no engines. Can you think
of more things with wheels?

The first wheels appeared more

than 5,000 years ago. They were
solid and round. The Sumerians
of ancient Mesopotamia put
these wheels on their carts. They
also used wheels to grind flour
for making bread and they used
wheels to make pots.
In 1888, John Boyd Dunlop
invented a tyre with air in it to
put on the wheel. We still use
Dunlop’s invention today.
