Hate Riding the Trainer?

Buffalo Home Trainer, 1886

Just Be Glad It's Not 1886!

I recently took my aviation-obsessed six year old to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. Among the planes, trains and automobiles, there's a small exhibit of bicycles, including this early exercise bike. A nearby tag explained that "racers and long-distance riders developed speed and endurance by exercising on the 1886 Buffalo Home Trainer."
