Charles/Charlie Steinlauf & Ruthie Steinaluf Schuster on bike
Charlie is riding a Penny-Farthing or a High Wheel Bicycle.
• It was popular in the 1870s–1880s.
• Known for speed but also for being very dangerous because the rider sat so high up.
Ruthie is riding an adult tricycle or a high-wheel tricycle.
• These were designed for people who wanted a safer alternative to riding the high Penny-Farthings.
• Notice that it still has large front and rear wheels but adds stability with three wheels.
