EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment when Professor Carl Myers demonstrates his innovative Air Bicycle at Congress Springs, Saratoga in 1891. The image showcases the professor in action, seated atop the unusual contraption with a large balloon filled with hydrogen gas looming overhead. The Air Bicycle was an engineering marvel of its time, featuring a pedal-driven sail that allowed the rider to control both the direction and speed of travel. The Air Bicycle was reported to have achieved an impressive speed of ten miles per hour and a remarkable height of fifteen thousand feet. The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated, as it represented a major step forward in human flight technology. Although not the first attempt at powered flight, the Air Bicycle showcased the potential for using pedal power to propel oneself through the air. The professor's pioneering spirit and determination to push the boundaries of human capabilities are evident in this photograph. The Air Bicycle was a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the late 19th century, and its impact on the field of aviation cannot be underestimated.
