HISTORY- A stunt bicyclist named DANIEL CANARY claims to be the first person to master the trick called Wheelie. One of the first stunt bicyclist was a former telegraph messenger named DANIEL CANARY, when Canary started riding in 1879, bicycle were still a new form of transportation, and Canary excelled at finding new and interesting things to do on two wheels, says Phil Edwards at Trivia Happy. Canary could flip, he could ride with no hands, and in 1884 he even ride down the step of the U.S. capital building. But he didn’t stop there. As Edwards discovered, Canary invented one of the most well-known bicycle tricks of all time.
