This is rare footage of the very first bike film. Thomas Edison made this short film in 1899, which shows men doing bike tricks. Its description reads:,‘Neidert,’ of national fame, does stunts on his wheel that are simply wonderful. Makes his bicycle rear up, and rides around the stage on his back wheel; besides a lot of other easy things, such as riding on one pedal and riding backward, seated on handlebar.”

Nice find. Brought back the memories of childhood when i was afraid to ride a full size bike , used to just stand on the pedal and push the ground with other foot and enjoy the ride.
