Wright Brothers Bicycle
Any one know of a picture of a Wright Brothers Bicycle?
Did the google thing and all I find is links on aeroplane stuff.

There was a pic in Bicycling mag ---maybe last year---and a re-pop version.Not much it was a very simple bicycle that would not draw much interest except for the builders history.But the Wrights did invent the left and right pedal threads.

There is a bicycle shop in Ohio between Dayton and Cincinnati that has a line of custom bicycles inspired by Wright Bros designs. I ran across it a couple of months ago, if I hit on it again I'll post the link.

There's one at the Smithsonian... Interesting to look at, for sure.
