Old High Wheel Bicycle Now a Thing of the Past
Homer Coxhead of Poughkeepsie sold his old high wheel or ordinary bicycle marking the likely end of the high wheel in Dutchess county. Once among the first to take up cycling, Coxhead rode the two wheeled steed on rough roads and kept it long after the safety bicycle era began. He later swapped for a motorcycle, then returned to a conventional bicycle, still fondly recalling the old high wheel.
