First bicycle design, third form of transportation behind the mule and horse, this bicycle mounted in much the same way. Place left foot on foothold and swing right foot across. An extremely dangerous bicycle, with no brakes or free wheel, which means if the wheels are turning, so are the cranks. The pedals have been removed from this bicycle to decrease the temptation to ride. Also known as the "Widow-Maker" because if the rider hit anything, a rock, chug hole, animal, or other obstruction, the pivotal point of this bicycle would throw the rider overboard head first.
