On loan from The Henry Ford, this is one of only five bicycles manufactured by the Wright brothers that are known to exist. This one, a model they called the St. Clair, was built in 1898. Less expensive than the Van Cleve model, the St. Clair sold for $42.50. This will be on display along with the Wright brothers’ 1903 Flyer in the new Wright Brothers & the Invention of the Aerial Age gallery.
