Nice article. Loved the wright bro biography. They were an interesting duo and that bike is really cool. I suspect those tires are not original.

Thanks for sharing. I feel like the Wright brothers' rich history and involvement in all things bicycle gets glossed over or not even mentioned during school or otherwise. I've only more recently, as an adult, learned about it.
