Location: 23, Place des Carmes-Déchaux, 63040 Clermont-Ferrand Cedex 9, France. Two Michelin brothers, ran a rubber factory in Clermont-Ferrand, France. One day, a cyclist whose pneumatic tyre needed repair turned up at the factory. The tyre was glued to the rim, and it took over three hours to repair the tyre, which then needed to be left overnight to dry. After only a few hundred metres, the tyre failed. They were enthusiastic about the pneumatic tyre, and he and his brother worked on creating their own version, one that did not need to be glued to the rim.
