Starley Bro’s / Psycho Cycles. ca. 1896.
Psycho Cycles was known for its patented steering apparatus in which the front wheel automatically returns to a straight line after a turn. The name was taken from a popular magic trick being performed in London at the time, in which the magician would invite audience members up to the stage where a young woman named Psycho would engage in a trance-like game of whist, always predicting the volunteer’s move and, ultimately, winning.
