Bicycle & Unicycle Acts

Bicycle Acts provide a great opportunity to showcase trick riding and dangerous stunts. Whether on one wheel or two, whether on a high bike or a tiny bike, whether leaping gaps or doing a very dangerous loop-the-loop– bicycle (and unicyclist) acts have been popular novelty acts since the late-1800’s.
