EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 19th century, a time when two men embarked on an adventurous ride aboard early bicycles known as the Hobby Horse and Boneshaker. The image showcases their daring spirit as they navigate through the streets with determination etched on their faces. The Hobby Horse, invented by Karl Von Drais in 1818, required riders to propel themselves forward by kicking against the street. It was a revolutionary concept that laid the foundation for future bicycle designs. However, it wasn't until 1863 when a French coachbuilder added cranks and pedals to Von Drais' invention that the iconic Boneshaker came into existence. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents significant advancements in science and technology during that era. These early bicycles symbolize human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of innovation. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Fine Art Storehouse's collection, we can't help but marvel at how far we have come since then. From these humble beginnings sprang forth modern-day cycles that have become an integral part of our lives. Let this print serve as a reminder of our ability to push boundaries and embrace new possibilities - just like these two courageous men who rode into history on their pioneering contraptions.
