"Use Human Energy It Works If You Do"
Image
Drawing of Sid, with a cigar in his mouth, riding a high wheel or boneshaker bicycle. Sid is riding the bicycle in a less efficient way as the seat he is sitting on is above the small wheel, and the pedals are on the large wheel which are higher than the seat. He also appears to be riding on a bumpy road. The caption reads: "Use Human Energy, It Works If You Do."
Boyum, Sid, 1914-1991
