What was this bicycle named?

how do you get on it?

Snance, given how difficult and dangerous they are to ride, I don’t see them coming back into fashion anytime soon.

WhoLetTheDogsOut?, Jeremy Vine the TV personality still rides one around London

ccmomma, I have wondered that as well

I saw someone riding one once during the 90's in Hermosa Beach, CA. I thought it was a bit dangerous to ride on the "bike path" with so many people randomly walking across, and skateboarders sharing the lanes.

Oh let's make it an Olympic event. Let's see who can get on this thing. Never mind riding it

ccmomma, I always wanted to know that answer too I recall seeing them in books as a kid but never seen one in person

WhoLetTheDogsOut?, You can still buy them today.

There is a guy here in Colorado that rides one,and I see him every now and then,when the weather is nice

The Oscar for Best Film of 1956 went to “Around the World in 80 Days”. The film begins with the Mexican icon Cantinflas riding one effortlessly, even circling around a pretty lady. Came natural to him since he was in a circus before becoming famous in Mexican movies. Mike Todd chose him to star with David Niven because of his world-wide appeal among Spanish speaking audiences and he wanted his film to be successful. It was.

ccmomma, my thoughts exactly!!

ccmomma, Climb. There are some farms in Wisconsin that will let you ride one.

It's pretty cool!

I never knew that! I love those bikes! Wish they would come back in style.
