During the early days, Van Wagoner rode an Eagle safety high wheel bicycle.

The tour was 5377 kilometres long in 1928, most of it on unsealled roads, and the riders used heavy, fixed wheel bicycles.

Others appeared wheeling undamaged aeroplanes upon their wheels as men might wheel bicycles, and sprang into the saddles and flapped into the air.

It is a small wheel bicycle, so belt tension may be less than on a bicycle with standard-size wheels.

Lerille is a collector of high wheel bicycles and antique airplanes.

The Picnica was a small wheel bicycle, so belt tension may have been less than on a bicycle with standard-size wheels.

The tikit is a 16-inch wheel folding bicycle with an unusually fast folding mechanism that can be folded/unfolded in less than five seconds.

While many folding bicycles are small wheel bicycles, not all small wheel bicycles can fold.

Some small wheel bicycles neither fold nor separate, such as the Moulton, which comes in both fixed frame and separable frame versions.

As of 2011, they are offering at least one complete bike, the Mini Velo, which is a small wheel bicycle.
