On this week’s Who Knew Wednesday, we discussed Bikes, Running, and Eggs; plus, who am I trivia. Here’s what we talked about.

WHO KNEW FACT CHECK – The first marathon is from the legend of Pheidippides, an ancient Greek messenger who supposedly ran roughly 25 miles from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens in 490 BC.

WORLD BIKE DAY – An early version of the bike was known as the Dandy Horse, which was invented in 1817.
