The Wright Cycle Company was formed by Wilbur and Orville Wright in 1892. The bicycle craze had hit America and as mechanical minded men, the Wright brothers were immediately interested in the new contraptions. Wilbur and Orville bought bicycles and soon became devoted cyclists. It was not long before people began to ask the brothers to do repair services on the bikes. The Wright Cycle Company was born. Wilbur and Orville already had Wright and Wright, Job Printers and decided to promote Ed Sines to manage the business so that they could open the new company across the street. The brothers began to sell and repair bicycles.
