Advertisement for Hartford bicycles sold by Geo. J. Rogers. Appeared in the Guardian, 1 June 1895, page 2.This bike was made in 1895. Bikes were a way to get around back then, as well as horses. The bike was black at the time.

The bike is made out of metal. The first bike was made in the 1800s, but didn't look like this one. This bike cost at least $85.00.
