Autor: Goddard, J.T.

Ref.: 978-84-9001-812-5 // RESUMEN: The velocipede was cultivated most assiduously for some little time by the sporting gentry of England ; but Lord George Bentick and other persons of fashion finally pronounced so decidedly against it, that it descended to the vulgar level of a plaything for young people and ceased to be regarded in any other light than that of a toy or hobby.
