1880's Ben Hur, Ben Hur Safety

Early Ben Hur "safety" bicycle. The "ordinary" hi-wheel bicycles were considered a bit dangerous, with front wheels being so large that the rider sat high up in the air. In the event of an accident, the rider was likely to be injured. The new "safety" bicycles allowed the rider to sit much closer to the ground.
