Animals on bicycles
Looking for a distraction from the General Election? Try these images of animals on bicycles. You’re welcome!
A young girl takes her pet dog for a ride
Marquis the chimpanzee carrying 2-year-old Baron on his shoulders in the West End of London, 1948 (not even a chimp could do this with today’s volume of traffic!)
Robert the dog sits on the butcher’s bicycle dressed for the job, June 1951 (did he eat all the sausages?)
Lorchen the parrot takes the dove Heinz for a ride, 1952 (was it a Variety show?)
Mr C. Tumbridge, inventor of the ‘dog caravan’ tows Prince behind his pushbike.
‘Maika’ the bear in a dress rehearsal at Jack Hylton’s circus with Louisa Galwas, 1953 (poor thing!)
