An Aerial Bicycle.
Mr. Richard Allen, a retired constable of the Bradford Police Force, is constructing a flying machine to be worked by his bicycle, by means of which he hopes to be able to pedal through the air. The framework of the machine is constructed of bamboo, and the working of the pedals of the bicycle causes the wings on either side to flap These are 33ft. from tip to tip, and automatically close when taking the upward stroke, and open out when coming down. An overhead apparatus provides for the steering.
