The Pedestrian Hobbies, or the Difference of Going Up and Down Hill, published April 8, 1819. Creator: William Heath
The Pedestrian Hobbies, or the Difference of Going Up and Down Hill, published April 8, 1819. Men riding hobby horses (a forerunner of the bicycle). The lack of gears and brakes meant they had to be carried uphill, and were dangerous going downhill. You have heard of old Pegassus flying no doubt, But our hobbies now Beat him good lack, For when you are tired of Rideing about, You may Carry your Horse on your Back'. Attributed to William Heath
