1887 Guide to Bicycling




The dead rabbit? No explanation.  

Note the “Ordinary” ( aka Penny Farthing or High Wheel) bicycle whose heyday was very brief, from about 1880 to 1890, when it was quickly replaced by the modern-looking “safety” bicycle, which was faster, safer, and easier to transport.

The horse pictured is clearly struggling to keep up. I think the rabbit is supposed to have run till it dropped dead.
