Thomas Edison performing tricks on his bicycle

Even way back in 1899, bicycle tricks were a thing to be videotaped. Here is Thomas Edison doing tricks on a fixed-gear bicycle (the only kind back then, right?) that people these days continue to perfect. Stay tuned and watch the whole video for the last stunt. It’s pretty damn awesome. Thanks Cyclelicious!

    I’d like to see that inverted track stunt done on a modern day bike. Perhaps at Maker Faire or Burning Man or even at one of the “Lifestyle” shows during a bike race?
