Description: | Before the bicycle was fully developed, people rode tricycles. This machine was built at home in the mid 1800s by Mr W. Eltringham, a joiner from Whitley Bay. It is propelled by hand cranks and steered with two stirrups. It can accommodate not only the rider but also a passenger, who sat facing backwards. This tricycle was suitable only for short journeys on level roads. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East sport leisure | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
