See the peg just above the rear wheel?  That is what the rider would use to step up to the seat

Houston Bike Museum Grand Opening

The Houston Bike Museum is finally opening with a grand opening celebration tomorrow February 26th. They will have a silent auction, door prizes, etc.  This is a temporary location at 1313 Binz St in the Museum District so fundraising is still going on for a permanent location.  Houston Matters radio show did a 5 minute segment on the museum.  Some of Houston's best bike shops Daniel Boone Bikes, The Bike Route in Sugarland, and West End Bikes have contributed to making the museum a reality.

Penny farthing anyone?  I just love saying that name.
