Fred St. Onge was famous on vaudeville for his bicycle trick and stunt riding on stage known at the time as a "wheel act". He was also an early bicycle racer, ran one of the largest bicycle riding schools in the USA, and traveled the world with his wheel act. From 1925 until the time of his death, St. Onge lectured in schools on traffic safety, interesting considering he promoted trick and stunt riding. Around the time this booklet was published in 1920 he was also a pitchman and spokesman for several companies including Indian Bicycles, Corbin Coaster Brakes, and Vitalic tires. I also found an article where he was promoting Columbia Bicycles as well in 1917.
Mr. St. Onge was born in 1874 and passed away May 20, 1939. He is buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood. California (Los Angeles County).
