Old Time Bicycle Attracts Attention In Bath
A Bath lad, Oscar King, gains attention riding a high wheel bicycle from the 1800s through Bath streets. The bike, once owned by Frank Currier of Belfast and later bought by Arthur Kateon, was also used by Currier in 1878 with the Boston Cycle Club. News of a yacht launch confusion drew crowds and restaurant bustle, with many travelers misled about the Bath Iron Works event.
