Bicycle History
What was the average price of the bicycle in the 18th century?
I need this for my history day project and i can’t find ANY prices besides for present day bicycles.
You couldn’t buy a bicycle at any price in the 18th Century… they weren’t invented until the early 19th Century and didn’t become popular until the late 19th Century.
In 1895, the Wright Brothers in Dayton, Ohio were building and selling bicycles. They had a sliding scale for prices:
Boys $40-50
Good Bikes: $50
Fine Bikes: $60
Excellent Bikes: $80
Best bicycles built: $100
And the prices would be slightly lower if you paid cash.
