Summary edit

Description
English: "The Hobby Horse (sometimes called the Dandy Horse) was introduced in Great Britain in 1818 and would have cost between £8 and £10 when first bought.

It is made of wood and iron and is very heavy. When this machine was built there were no pedals or chains to use. Instead the rider had to move the vehicle forward with their legs while steering with their arms. The Hobby Horse could reach speeds of 8mph and had no brakes, so riding down hills could be very dangerous."
