Description
Mr Milton Nicholls, a St Erth carpenter and undertaker, pictured at his carpenter's shop with his father's bicycle. As can be seen, this c. 1900 machine had solid tyres and a brake which engaged with the outside of the front wheel, an extremely uncertain method of control which sometimes deposited the rider over the handlebars when applied in an emergency.
