I am up late watching Antenna TVs run of Three Stooges shorts ...
The episode "Yes We Have No Bonanzas" is running, early in the episode Curly comes "riding" into town supposedly on a horse, but a wide-shot reveal shows him on a bicycle with an off center drive and him "pumping" the bike to make it go. This sounds like a new cycling craze about to happen ... unless the off-center centrifugal drive bicycle was just a hollywood stunt.
