The Last Word: Old-Fashioned Bike Draws Lots of Attention
I own a bike. It's easy to get on and off. It's easy to start and stop. It's a nice smooth and safe ride. There's nothing unusual about my bike at all. That’s not the case for Nate Latimer. I watched as he rode his bike on the streets near Edinboro Lake. His bike IS unusual. It's an old-fashioned high wheeler bike. This was the style back in the late 1800s. In England, the bike is still called a penny-farthing. One big wheel in the front. A much smaller wheel in the rear. Nate owns 814 Outdoor Sports in Edinboro. He never thought about riding one of these bikes until four years ago when a customer came into the shop who owned one and wanted Nate to sell it.
