That's something I've never encountered, or heard of. But now I see it, it makes such blatantly obvious sense! Stick a cigar in a pipe, and your hands are free. Also, less risk of mouth cancer (although, you're still at risk of all the other smoking cancers).

Why have I never seen this before‽ When did it go out of fashion, and why? It's brilliant!

That dog looks remarkably stable in a moving open air vehicle with leaf springs.

Well, it's going all of 6MPH. We were just watching a period TV show where someone shows up in a rural town in England in one of these, and someone is marveling at how fast you can get places now with one of these. They mentioned the top speed, and it was something like 6 or 9 MPH. Something silly like that.

Marginally better than a horse, but it doesn't poop everywhere. Careful with the crank handle.
