    Don’t know about the tires, but seriously, it looks like this is for real. Google “bicycle trick riding no. 2″ and look for a result from the Library of Congress.

    And I was almost 100% sure it was shenanigans… awesome stuff.

    I think the cyclist in the first sequence is my great-grandfather’s first cousin, WS Maltby. He was known for falling – “.. Maltby has the trick of falling off a bicycle down to a science…” NY Times 1/5/1894. Also, he was based in NYC and if Edison shot this, it would probably be at his studio in New Jersey.
