[edit]
- ... that an American Star Bicycle was ridden down the United States Capitol steps in 1885 (pictured) to demonstrate its enhanced stability, which was superior to the average high wheeler of the day?

This is a well filled-out and well referenced article, submitted here within two days of creation from new. The images are free-use. The hook (184 characters), and especially the image, works for me. A niggle about the hook reference: the ref cites the device's enhanced stability, but the hook has superior to the average high wheeler of the day. Is this close enough for a DYK, or should the suggested ALT be used? --Old Moonraker (talk) 16:16, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
As part of the original hook is not cited, I am approving Alt1, which in any event strikes me as much punchier and better. Moonraker (talk) 03:28, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
