Mike, 59, shared a photo of himself riding an antique bike to his Instagram on Saturday.

The bike had one big wheel on the front and a tiny one on the back.

He did not have a helmet on and wore a casual white shirt, dark blue jeans, and boots.

Mike rode the bike in downtown Columbia, Tennessee.

"I’ve had this Victor Highwheel for about 35 years," he captioned the post.

"When I first got it I would ride for miles. The further out in the country I would go the more I felt connected to the past. Away from all modern structures and vehicles it was like a time machine."

"Now every once in a while I’ll take it for a spin just to slow down and calm myself. There’s something about the view up there and the quietness of the big wheel that soothes my soul," Mike ended.

'WEAR A HELMET'

Fans told Mike to be safe and said they were frightened for him in the comments.

"I think I would wear a bike helmet," one fan said.

"How fun! And also a bit frightening," said another.

"Very cool. Wear a helmet," added a third.

"Don't fall please," begged a follower.

"Is this safe?" asked another fan.

MEET THE CAST OF AMERICAN PICKERS

American Pickers has had a few cast changes, but the current season sees Mike Wolfe, Robbie Wolfe, Jon Szalay, and Danielle Colby scouring the nation for rare antique finds.

MIKE WOLFE

Iowa native Mike has been on the show since it first came out in 2010. The star originally started the show with buddy Frank Fritz, who suddenly left in 2021 amid a feud with Mike.

Mike has a collection of business ventures outside the show and also spends plenty of time with his model girlfriend Leticia Cline.

ROBBIE WOLFE

Mike's brother Robbie has joined the show on plenty of antique hunts since Frank's departure.

Like Mike, Robbie has an antique store to run when not on-screen.

JON SZALAY

'Jersey Jon' only became a full cast member in December 2023, but has plenty of history with the Wolfe brothers.

According to his History Channel bio, the newcomer is a 'long-time picking pal of Mike Wolfe.'

DANIELLE COLBY

Danielle hit the screens with the team back when the show started in 2010, becoming known as the charismatic shop manager.

When 'the Queen of Rust' isn't antique hunting, she can often be found sharing racy burlesque videos on social media and putting on shows around the country.

He is the owner of Two Lanes Guesthouse in Columbia, Tennessee and has been restoring a new property in Le Claire, Iowa. 

The U.S. Sun obtained photos of the renovated house, which is across the street from his store, Antique Archaeology.

He purchased the building, which was built in 1880, in December 2021 for $300,000.

The house has three bedrooms, a basement, a fireplace, and more amenities. 

Some of the renovations that Mike made to the house were painting the previous off-white building a dark green with black trimming. 

There is also a wooden porch in the backyard with a steel railing.

Also, a firepit was installed, but has not been used yet as it was still wrapped in plastic.

Mike has been updating his followers on Instagram throughout the process.
