About the Item

This very interesting one of a kind bicycle came out of the David Metz Bicycle Museum a little over 10 years ago. We went over the bicycle and everything now works just as it should. I'm guessing the bike is late 20s to early 30s. It steers from the back seat via cables and is geared to move down the street as the 2 riders see-saw up and down. The gearing is quite ingenious. It also folds up to transport.
