This Stunt Rider from the early 1900's would appear at carnivals and
sideshows....sort of an early Trials Rider.
A 1920's French recumbent called the Velocar. Note the headlight and
the luggage compartment.
The first recumbent on the Velodrome race circuit in 1933..smashed
existing speed records which led to the UCI banning recumbents from
racing....too fast and the upright bike industry wouldn't have it, so it
lobbied for the ban.
A Twisted Shifter demonstrates his
aquatic skills.
