these have been around for a long time

I had never seen one before. Just thought it was funny, especially the makeshift headlights. When he left, he pedalled and it just started on its own. Funny, but really cool too!

yeah,they are cool. I could be wrong, but I believe that is how motorcycles started out actually. I do like the makeshift saddlebags/plate made for it lol

The first of these came out around the turn of the last century.....they were known as Motor Pedals, now Moped. An English company, Raleigh, made one of the most popular versions of these things called 'The Raleigh Runabout'......other Bicycle companies also built their own versions, including Triumph and Rudge in the UK, and Motopedo in Italy. Nowadays, the petrol driven engine has been replaced with a battery driven electric motor.

Look at that, I have learned something new today! There really is a wealth of knowledge on this site! You guys are grrrreeeat!

There were people zooming around on mopeds all over where I grew up. They're fun!

Oh yea, mopeds I am very familiar with, these not so much!

This one actually looks like it might be a home built job........ and, it has no brakes!!

Well, the stunt isn't that amazing, but the dog in the shot is great!

have to agree, nothing amazing about this, the boys in the villages here do this on scooters all the time.

Given the anger and the size of the dog, I find this stunt particularly dangerous!

Haha the dogs actually really friendly she just doesnt like motorbikes and chases them. Same with lawn mowers.

great, but author have a close look, there are a few bits of colour left in the B/W, and perhaps a few missed red bits on the bike.

Thank you very much friiskiwii
I'll try to fix

On the man's face is also some colored parts (only noticeable in hi res). But i's a nice shot.
