This 1885 Singer tricycle with forward steering is a rare survivor in excellent original condition. It had been in storage for many years before I bought it, owned by a long-time vintage bicycle collector. Though it was marketed for children, as you can see in the video further down the page, it is quite suitable for shorter adults too – I filmed my wife taking it for a spin for the first time, and she is 5ft 3″.
