What are bike pegs for?

Usually not. A peg has to thread onto an axle and mountain bikes generally use quick release skewers so the axle is very short.

But if you have a MTB with solid axles (some MTB dirtbikes and low-end MTBs have), or go to the effort of having the q/r axles replaced with solid axles, then it's doable.

They started out with the BMX crowd as an accessory that made it possible to perform grinds and various flatland tricks by standing on the pegs.

4-5 inch long stumps of pipes that screw on to the wheel axles to enable the rider to do certain tricks by standing on the pegs or by sliding the bike along rails on the pegs.

Trick riding. The pegs can be used to stand on, or the bike can be jumped to land with the pegs on a rail or a ledge for grinds.

Any local bike store. If there is no local bike store, then you should try going to Wal-Mart.

What was another name for the high wheeled bicycle?

Many of them had pegs on the back bone of the frame. The rider ran with the bike a few steps, and then climbed the pegs into the saddle before the bike lost speed and toppled over. If the bike didn't have pegs the rider would often use something in his surroundings to steady himself as he stepped up into the saddle.
