Dunlop motocross tires

In 1888, Dunlop founder John Boyd Dunlop was watching his son ride a tricycle on a cobbled road. He immediately noticed that the child could not go fast and decided to make driving the tricycle more pleasant for his son: he wrapped the wheels with thin sheets of rubber glued together and inflated everything with a balloon pump. He had invented the first air bearing system in history. Dunlop quickly patented his idea and made his invention a business challenge, founding what was soon known as Dunlop Pneumatic Tire Co. Ltd. In 1890 Dunlop opened its first factory in Ireland.
