There was a guy Mackmillan.

But he didn't invent the first pedal drive bicycle.

Some french guys had stuck cranks and pedals to the front Wheel of a bicycle earlier.

But Mackmillan is considered the inventor of the rear Wheel drive bike with a Power transfer system.

The first mechanically driven bicycle was made by Kirkpatrick MacMillan, a Scottish blacksmith, in 1839. It was driven by treadles (rather like an old sewing machine) or steps which moved up and down. By pressing down on these the back wheel was turned. Later bicycles had pedals attached to the front axle.
