Perilous Wheel Feat At Madison Square Garden
H L Steward, a bicycle rider, completed a dangerous loop ride in Madison Square Garden. From a 25 foot height he plunges 85 feet along a two foot plank to the door, then climbs back to a 20 foot platform. He rides a 50 pound wheel with solid tires, no pedals, and a front wheel set to stay on a six inch wide painted path. A prior fall left him bleeding but unbroken, yet he returns to the ride, undeterred.
