EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a Johnson's Pedestrian Hobby Horse, a fascinating relic from the early days of transportation history. Dating back to 1819, this intriguing contraption represents an early form of recreational cycling, predating the invention of the velocipede or 'Boneshaker' bicycle by several decades. The Johnson's Pedestrian Hobby Horse, also known as a 'Draisine' or 'running machine,' was the brainchild of German inventor Karl Drais. This innovative device, which allowed its rider to glide along smooth surfaces by pushing off the ground with their feet, quickly gained popularity in Europe and eventually in the United States. In this photograph, we see a man skillfully maneuvering the hobby horse along a cobblestone street, his determined expression and focused gaze conveying the sense of adventure and excitement that came with trying out this new mode of transport. The horse-like design, complete with a wooden saddle and reins, added to the allure of the hobby horse, making it an appealing alternative to traditional horseback riding for those who couldn't afford or didn't have access to actual horses. As you gaze at this image, imagine the thrill of being among the first to experience the joy and freedom of pedal-less cycling. This photograph serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and curiosity that have driven human innovation throughout history, and the enduring appeal of hobbies that allow us to explore new territories, both real and imagined.
