The Hobby Horse


This is a picture of the Hobby Horse and was built by Denis Johnson in 1881. He was a British coach maker but apparently wasn't the original inventor British coach-maker Denis Johnson. That in 1817 by a German inventor called Drais de Sauerbrunn, he called it the 'Draisienne' Johnson's version had no pedals and to move along yo have to push your feet along the ground. With no brakes dragged feet are used to stop.
