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.
