There’s an interesting coorelation here with Ed Leedskalnin, creator of Coral Castle. One of his “quirks” people talked about was that he would ride a bicycle for miles around the area. A bicycle with no tires, just bare metal wheels. When he did so, he’d wear shoes that had the soles replaced with metal plates. Thus there was a conductive path from body to ground. Know one knows why. Could it have contributed to his recovery from TB? Perhaps it aided whatever process he used to move the limestone blocks?
In fact, Leonardo Da Vinci created a three geared bicycle in the Renaissance Italy
There has been internet discussion in the past that the “da Vinci bicycle” was a hoax.
I’m a fan of both Leonardo and bicycles, so no slam on Leonardo.

This exemplifies the breakaway civilization technologies; stolen from the past, and made patently new.
