This clown's bicycle was used by Peter Nilsson's Stage & Vaudeville Act. The bicycle does not have a coasting capability. When the rear wheel turns, the pedals
turn, allowing the rider to have precise control over the bicycle's operation. Peter Nilsson came onto the stage with the unicycle, exhibit 116A, hidden
beneath his coat, then rode it around the stage before riding this, larger bicycle.
This is exhibit number 116.
