Two girls and two men in a routine of trick bicycling. The girls open the act with the usual double trick stuff. Attractive costumes consisting of abbreviated skirts and white tights are worn. One of the men next does a brief routine of trick, riding, appearing in misfit suit which he discards for straight attire, while riding. The fourth member of the act, a tramp comic gets the stage next for some familiar but very cleverly performed comedy riding. The girls change to nifty looking one piece costumes for another routine of double maneuvers. The tramp comic does another single and following some fast ensemble formations, the turn closes with the four on elevated wheels, with the tramp standing out by his comedy odd twists and turns on the highest of the elevated wheels, which through a mechanical arrangement has the rider perched on a saddle about twenty feet from the ground. The act went over opening the show at the 23rd Street last half. It’s a standard turn.
